[PATCH] direct-io: sync and invalidate file region when falling back to buffered write
When direct-io falls back to buffered write, it will just leave the dirty data
floating about in pagecache, pending regular writeback.
But normal direct-io semantics are that IO is synchronous, and that it leaves
no pagecache behind.
So change the fallback-to-buffered-write code to sync the file region and to
then strip away the pagecache, just as a regular direct-io write would do.
