direct-io: only inc/dec inode->i_dio_count for file systems

do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.

For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
better latencies too. Before:

clat percentiles (usec):
 |  1.00th=[   33],  5.00th=[   34], 10.00th=[   34], 20.00th=[   34],
 | 30.00th=[   34], 40.00th=[   34], 50.00th=[   35], 60.00th=[   35],
 | 70.00th=[   35], 80.00th=[   35], 90.00th=[   37], 95.00th=[   80],
 | 99.00th=[   98], 99.50th=[  151], 99.90th=[  155], 99.95th=[  155],
 | 99.99th=[  165]

After:

clat percentiles (usec):
 |  1.00th=[   95],  5.00th=[  108], 10.00th=[  129], 20.00th=[  149],
 | 30.00th=[  155], 40.00th=[  161], 50.00th=[  167], 60.00th=[  171],
 | 70.00th=[  177], 80.00th=[  185], 90.00th=[  201], 95.00th=[  270],
 | 99.00th=[  390], 99.50th=[  398], 99.90th=[  418], 99.95th=[  422],
 | 99.99th=[  438]

In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance
improvements:

The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.

Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.
