With F_SET_RW_HINT fcntl, user can set a hint on the file inode, and
all the subsequent writes on the file pass that hint value down. This
can be limiting for block device as all the writes can be tagged with
only one lifetime hint value. Concurrent writes (with different hint
values) are hard to manage. Per-IO hinting solves that problem.

Allow userspace to pass additional metadata in the SQE.

	__u16 write_hint;

This accepts all hint values that the file allows.

The write handlers (io_prep_rw, io_write) send the hint value to
lower-layer using kiocb. This is good for upporting direct IO, but not
when kiocb is not available (e.g., buffered IO).

When per-io hints are not passed, the per-inode hint values are set in
the kiocb (as before). Otherwise, per-io hints  take the precedence over
per-inode hints.
