[PATCH] direct-io: Submit bio after boundary buffer is added to it

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Currently, dio_send_cur_page() submits bio before current page and
cached sdio->cur_page is added to the bio if sdio->boundary is set. This
is actually wrong because sdio->boundary means the current buffer is the
last one before metadata needs to be read. So we should rather submit
the bio after the current page is added to it.

 Andrew, can you add this patch the previous direct IO boundary handling fix?
