Subject: [PATCH v1 4/6] block/psi: remove PSI annotations from direct IO

As reported, we must not do pressure stall information accounting for
direct IO, because otherwise it tells that it's thrashing a page when
actually doing IO on hot data.

Apparently, bio_iov_iter_get_pages() is used only by paths doing direct
IO, so just make it avoid setting BIO_WORKINGSET, it also saves us CPU
cycles on doing that. For fs/direct-io.c just clear the flag before
submit_bio(), it's not of much concern performance-wise.
