Provide VFS helpers for handling O_SYNC AIO DIO writes. Filesystem wanting to
use the helpers has to pass DIO_SYNC_WRITES to __blockdev_direct_IO. Then if
they don't use direct IO end_io handler, generic code takes care of everything
else. Otherwise their end_io handler is passed struct dio_sync_io_work pointer
as 'private' argument and they have to call generic_dio_end_io() to finish
their AIO DIO. Generic code then takes care to call generic_write_sync() from
a workqueue context when AIO DIO is completed.

Since all filesystems using blockdev_direct_IO() need O_SYNC aio dio handling
and the generic one is enough for them, make blockdev_direct_IO() pass
DIO_SYNC_WRITES flag.
