Why is this hunk needed?

The inc and dec here aren't correctly paired, since f2fs_dio_submit_bio() is
called once per bio whereas f2fs_dio_end_io() is called when the entire direct
I/O request (which may have consisted of multiple bios) has completed.

The correct way to do this would be to do the inc before calling
__blockdev_direct_IO(), and do the dec in end_io or if __blockdev_direct_IO()
returned without actually issuing any I/O.

But I think you shouldn't bother with this part of the change before we switch
to iomap, as it will then need to be changed again anyway.
