Subject: [PATCH] iomap: Fix direct I/O write consistency check

When a direct I/O write falls back to buffered I/O entirely, dio->size
will be 0 in iomap_dio_complete.  Function invalidate_inode_pages2_range
will try to invalidate the rest of the address space.  If there are any
dirty pages in that range, the write will fail and a "Page cache
invalidation failure on direct I/O" error will be logged.

On gfs2, this can be reproduced as follows:

  xfs_io \
    -c "open -ft foo" -c "pwrite 4k 4k" -c "close" \
    -c "open -d foo" -c "pwrite 0 4k"

Fix this by recognizing 0-length writes.
