[RFC PATCH 5/7] f2fs: don't allow DIO reads but not DIO writes

From: Eric Biggers

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, if an f2fs filesystem is mounted with the mode=lfs and
io_bits mount options, DIO reads are allowed but DIO writes are not.
Allowing DIO reads but not DIO writes is an unusual restriction, which
is likely to be surprising to applications, namely any application that
both reads and writes from a file (using O_DIRECT). Given this, let's
drop the support for DIO reads in this configuration.
