  xfs: support STATX_DIOALIGN (2022-09-11 19:47:12 -0500)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Make statx() support reporting direct I/O (DIO) alignment information.
This provides a generic interface for userspace programs to determine
whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.
Specifically, STATX_DIOALIGN works on block devices, and on regular
files when their containing filesystem has implemented support.

An interface like this has been requested for years, since the
conditions for when DIO is supported in Linux have gotten increasingly
complex over time.  Today, DIO support and alignment requirements can be
affected by various filesystem features such as multi-device support,
data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity, compression,
checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode, etc.  Further complicating
things, Linux v6.0 relaxed the traditional rule of DIO needing to be
aligned to the block device's logical block size; now user buffers (but
not file offsets) only need to be aligned to the DMA alignment.

The approach of uplifting the XFS specific ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO was
discarded in favor of creating a clean new interface with statx().
