fuse: enable asynchronous processing direct IO
In case of synchronous DIO request (i.e. read(2) or write(2) for a file opened with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously, but waits for their completions before return from fuse_direct_IO(). In case of asynchronous DIO request (i.e. libaio io_submit() or a file opened with O_DIRECT), the patch submits fuse requests asynchronously and return -EIOCBQUEUED immediately. The only special case is async DIO extending file. Here the patch falls back to old behaviour because we can't return -EIOCBQUEUED and update i_size later, without i_mutex hold. And we have no method to wait on real async I/O requests. The patch also clean __fuse_direct_write() up: it's better to update i_size in its callers. Thanks Brian for suggestion.
