[RFC 1/7] iomap: Don't fall back to buffered write if the write is atomic

[Ojaswin Mujoo]

Currently, iomap only supports atomic writes for direct IOs and there is
no guarantees that a buffered IO will be atomic. Hence, if the user has
explicitly requested the direct write to be atomic and there's a
failure, return -EIO instead of falling back to buffered IO.
