[PATCH 12/14] fuse: Fix O_DIRECT operations vs cached writeback misorder

[Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov-bzQdu9zFT3WakBO8gow8eQ@public.gmane.org>]

The problem is:

1. write cached data to a file
2. read directly from the same file (via another fd)

The 2nd operation may read stale data, i.e. the one that was in a file
before the 1st op. Problem is in how fuse manages writeback.

When direct op occurs the core kernel code calls filemap_write_and_wait
to flush all the cached ops in flight. But fuse acks the writeback right
after the ->writepages callback exits w/o waiting for the real write to
happen. Thus the subsequent direct op proceeds while the real writeback
is still in flight. This is a problem for backends that reorder operation.

Fix this by making the fuse direct IO callback explicitly wait on the
in-flight writeback to finish.
