Add iomap support for non-tailpacking uncompressed data in order to support DIO and DAX. Direct I/O is useful in certain scenarios for uncompressed files. For example, double pagecache can be avoid by direct I/O when loop device is used for uncompressed files containing upper layer compressed filesystem. This adds iomap DIO support for non-tailpacking cases first and tail-packing inline files are handled in the follow-up patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
