[CIFS] O_DIRECT opens should work on directio mounts
Opens on current cifs/smb2/smb3 mounts with O_DIRECT flag fail even when caching is disabled on the mount. This was reported by those running SMB2 benchmarks who need to be able to pass O_DIRECT on many of their open calls to reduce caching effects, but would also be needed by other applications. When mounting with forcedirectio ("cache=none") cifs and smb2/smb3 do not go through the page cache and thus opens with O_DIRECT flag should work (when posix extensions are negotiated we even are able to send the flag to the server). This patch fixes that in a simple way. The 9P client has a similar situation (caching is often disabled) and takes the same approach to O_DIRECT support ie works if caching disabled, but if client caching enabled it fails with EINVAL. A followon idea for a future patch as Pavel noted, could be that files opened with O_DIRECT could cause us to change inode->i_fop on the fly from cifs_file_strict_ops to cifs_file_direct_ops which would allow us to support this on non-forcedirectio mounts (cache=strict and cache=loose) as well.
