[PATCHv10 5/9] block, fs: add write hint to kiocb

[Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx>

This prepares for sources other than the inode to provide a write hint.
The block layer will use it for direct IO if the requested hint is
within the block device's allowed hints.
