Before direct IO was permitted by this driver, the user either had
to give 'allow_dio=1' as a module parameter or write to procfs
with 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio'. The user also needs
to set the SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO flag in the flags field of either
the sg v3 or v3 interface. The reason this "belts and braces"
approach was taken is lost in the mists of time (done over 20
years ago). So this patch keeps the allow_dio attribute for
backward compatibility but ignores it, relying on the
SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO flag alone. This brings the use of the
SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO flag into line with the SG_FLAG_MMAP_IO
flag; the two mechanisms are no more, or less, safe than one
another in recent Linux kernels.
