Subject: [PATCH v9 4/6] block: loop: prepare for supporing direct IO
This patches provides one interface for enabling direct IO
from user space:
- userspace(such as losetup) can pass 'file' which is
opened/fcntl as O_DIRECT
Also __loop_update_dio() is introduced to check if direct I/O
can be used on current loop setting.
The last big change is to introduce LO_FLAGS_DIRECT_IO flag
for userspace to know if direct IO is used to access backing
file.
