[Devel] [PATCH 4/6] fuse: enable asynchronous processing direct IO

In case of synchronous DIO request (i.e. read(2) or write(2) for a file
opened with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously, but
waits for their completions before return from fuse_direct_IO().

In case of asynchronous DIO request (i.e. libaio io_submit() or a file opened
with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously and return
-EIOCBQUEUED immediately.

The only special case is async DIO extending file. Here the patch falls back
to old behaviour because we can't return -EIOCBQUEUED and update i_size later,
without i_mutex hold. And we have no method to wait on real async I/O
requests.

The patch also clean __fuse_direct_write() up: it's better to update i_size
in its callers. Thanks Brian for suggestion.
