[PATCH] f2fs: Fix direct IO handling

[Damien Le Moal]

f2fs_preallocate_blocks() identifies direct IOs using the IOCB_DIRECT
flag for a kiocb structure. However, the file system direct IO handler
function f2fs_direct_IO() may have decided that a direct IO has to be
exececuted as a buffered IO using the function f2fs_force_buffered_io().
This is the case for instance for volumes including zoned block device
and for unaligned write IOs with LFS mode enabled.

These 2 different methods of identifying direct IOs can result in
inconsistencies generating stale data access for direct reads after a
direct IO write that is treated as a buffered write. Fix this
inconsistency by combining the IOCB_DIRECT flag test with the result
of f2fs_force_buffered_io().
