I think this is in many ways wrong. As far as I can tell you want this
so that we get the imap_spans_range in xfs_direct_write_iomap_begin. But
we should not trigger any of the other checks, so we'd really need
another flag instead of reusing this one.
imap_spans_range is a bit pessimistic for avoiding the exclusive lock,
but I guess we could live that if it is clearly documented as helping
with the implementation, but we really should not automatically trigger
all the other effects of nowait I/O.
