Yes, even if we do AIO but since it is an extending write we will pass
IOMAP_DIO_FORCE_WAIT to iomap which means it will wait for the
completion anyway.
But on second thoughts, we can still add both synchronous direct-io
writes and buffered-io writes to this test. The man page of "open" tells
about O_SYNC flag, so the test should make sure that "data" and
"metadata" gets written to disk for both buffered-io and direct-io.
I will enhance that in second revision to cover buffered-io case as well.

It's O_SYNC flag of open which mandates both data and metadata
integrity after "write" (or similar) completion.
So, I think it will be better to cover AIO case as well.
There are a bunch of AIO tests present. I will see if either of it can
be enhanced to do basic aiodio writes. If not, I will add a basic
integrity test.
