Subject: ocfs2: eliminate the static flag of some functions

Currently in case of append O_DIRECT write (block not allocated yet),
ocfs2 will fall back to buffered I/O.  This has some disadvantages. 
Firstly, it is not the behavior as expected.

Secondly, it will consume huge page cache, e.g.  in mass backup scenario. 
Thirdly, modern filesystems such as ext4 support this feature.

In this patch set, the direct I/O write doesn't fallback to buffer I/O
write any more because the allocate blocks are enabled in direct I/O now.


This patch (of 7):

Eliminate the static flag of some functions which will be used in append
O_DIRECT write.
