Commit 20ce44d545844 ("do_direct_IO: Use inode->i_blkbits to compute
block count to be cleaned") introduced a regression: if the block size
of the block device is changed while a direct I/O request is being
setup, it can result in a panic. See commit ab73857e354ab ("direct-io:
don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times") for the reasoning, and
commit b87570f5d3496 ("Fix a crash when block device is read and block
size is changed at the same time") for a more detailed problem
description and reproducer.
