Commit 1ae399382512 ("Btrfs: do not use async submit for small DIO io's") benefits small DIO io's. However, if we're owning the SINGLE profile, this also affects large DIO io's since in that case, map_length is (chunk_length - bio's offset_in_chunk), it's farily large so that it's very likely to be larger than a large bio's size, which avoids asynchronous submit. For instance, if we have a 512k bio, the efforts of calculating (512k/4k=128) checksums will be taken by the DIO task.

Still, in this case we don't need to split the bio and can submit it directly.
