[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.
