xfs simplify and speed up direct I/O completions
Our current handling of direct I/O completions is rather suboptimal,
because we defer it to a workqueue more often than needed, and we
perform a much to aggressive flush of the workqueue in case unwritten
extent conversions happen.
This patch changes the direct I/O reads to not even use a completion
handler, as we don't bother to use it at all, and to perform the unwritten
extent conversions in caller context for synchronous direct I/O.
For a small I/O size direct I/O workload on a consumer grade SSD, such as
the untar of a kernel tree inside qemu this patch gives speedups of
about 5%. Getting us much closer to the speed of a native block device,
or a fully allocated XFS file.
