ext4: introduce direct I/O write using iomap infrastructure

This patch introduces a new direct I/O write path which makes use of
the iomap infrastructure.

All direct I/O writes are now passed from the ->write_iter() callback
through to the new direct I/O handler ext4_dio_write_iter(). This
function is responsible for calling into the iomap infrastructure via
iomap_dio_rw().

Code snippets from the existing direct I/O write code within
ext4_file_write_iter() such as, checking whether the I/O request is
unaligned asynchronous I/O, or whether the write will result in an
overwrite have effectively been moved out and into the new direct I/O
->write_iter() handler.
The block mapping flags that are eventually passed down to
ext4_map_blocks() from the *_get_block_*() suite of routines have been
taken out and introduced within ext4_iomap_alloc().

For inode extension cases, ext4_handle_inode_extension() is
effectively the function responsible for performing such metadata
updates. This is called after iomap_dio_rw() has returned so that we
can safely determine whether we need to potentially truncate any
allocated blocks that may have been prepared for this direct I/O
write. We don't perform the inode extension, or truncate operations
from the ->end_io() handler as we don't have the original I/O 'length'
available there. The ->end_io() however is responsible fo converting
allocated unwritten extents to written extents.

In the instance of a short write, we fallback and complete the
remainder of the I/O using buffered I/O via
ext4_buffered_write_iter().

The existing buffer_head direct I/O implementation has been removed as
it's now redundant.
