[PATCH 01/16] fs: save file->f_flags to kiocb->ki_flags

[Dmitry Monakhov]

There are many places inside vfs/fs where code flow depends on file->f_flags,
but this check is racy because one can change it via fcntl(,F_SETFL,)
For example O_DIRECT usually flag checked twice:
  xxx_file_write_iter -> check O_DIRECT, and perform some optimization
    ->__generic_file_write_iter -> check O_DIRECT,
which may break things: for example http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg45683.html
For that reason some filesystems simply do not use __generic_file_write_iter()
which result in code duplication. Right way to fix this is to save volatile flags
inside kiocb->ki_flags similar to ->ki_pos
Other private discussion: message-id:20141218105101.GD13705@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This patch store O_DIRECT|O_APPEND|O_NONBLOCK|O_NDELAY
to kiocb->ki_flags on kiocb initialization.
