Subject: [PATCH] add check do_direct_IO() return val

This is the patch for check do_direct_IO() return val.

At do_direct_IO(), sometimes dio_get_page() will return -EFAULT/-ENOMEM,
according to orig source, it will go on left work. buf for dio_get_page()
return a error will made many useful member of dio not initialized like
dio->map_bh and others, at this point, kernel will panic.
