[PATCH] fs/direct-io.c: Calcuate fs_count correctly in get_more_blocks.

From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@xxxxxxxxxx>

In get_more_blocks, we use dio_count to calcuate fs_count and do some
tricky things to increase fs_count if dio_count isn't aligned. But
actually it still has some cornor case that can't be coverd. See the
following example:
./dio_write foo -s 1024 -w 4096(direct write 4096 bytes at offset 1024).
The same goes if the offset isn't aligned to fs_blocksize.

In this case, the old calculation counts fs_count to be 1, but actually
we will write into 2 different blocks(if fs_blocksize=4096). The old code
just works, since it will call get_block twice(and may have to allocate
and create extent twice for file systems like ext4). So we'd better call
get_block just once with the proper fs_count.
