When performing O_SYNC+AIO+DIO writes to block devices, use the DIO_SYNC_WRITES
flag so that flushes are issued /after/ the write completes, not before.
Note, however, that for block devices, the DIO setup code ensures that a flush
wq is attached to the superblock of the bdevfs filesystem, not the filesystem
that the device node happens to reside in. This means that unlike regular
files, iocb->ki_filp->f_mapping->host->i_sb != inode->i_sb. Therefore, adjust
Jeff's earlier patch to keep the pointer use consistent and avoid a NULL deref.
