Subject: fs: move inode_dio_wait calls into ->setattr

Let filesystems handle waiting for direct I/O requests themselves instead
of doing it beforehand.  This means filesystem-specific locks to prevent
new dio referenes from appearing can be held.  This is important to allow
generalizing i_dio_count to non-DIO_LOCKING filesystems.

Subject: fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync()
 handlers

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,
