Subject: [RFC PATCH] fs/direct-io.c: Set bi_rw when alloc bio.

When exec bio_alloc, the bi_rw is zero.But after calling bio_add_page,
it will use bi_rw.
Fox example, in functiion __bio_add_page,it will call merge_bvec_fn().
The merge_bvec_fn of raid456 will use the bi_rw to judge the merge.
>> if ((bvm->bi_rw & 1) == WRITE)
>>		return biovec->bv_len; /* always allow writes to be mergeable */

Signed-off-by: Jianpeng Ma <majianpeng@...il.com>

There are many place like this in kernel.If you think this patch ok, i will correct those.
