We are noticing a regression with ltp-syscalls' preadv03:

This is seen in the following environments:
* dragonboard-845c
* juno-64k_page_size
* qemu-arm64
* qemu-armv7
* qemu-i386
* qemu-x86_64
* x86_64-clang

and on the following RC's:
* v5.10.202-rc1
* v5.15.140-rc1
* v6.1.64-rc1

(Note that the list might not be complete, because some branches failed to execute completely due to build issues reported elsewhere.)

Bisection in linux-5.15.y pointed to:

   Author: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

       ext4: properly sync file size update after O_SYNC direct IO
       
       commit 91562895f8030cb9a0470b1db49de79346a69f91 upstream.


Reverting that commit made the test pass.
