xfs: avoid direct I/O write vs buffered I/O race
commit c58cb165bd44de8aaee9755a144136ae743be116 upstream. Currently a buffered reader or writer can add pages to the pagecache while we are waiting for the iolock in xfs_file_dio_aio_write. Prevent this by re-checking mapping->nrpages after we got the iolock, and if nessecary upgrade the lock to exclusive mode. To simplify this a bit only take the ilock inside of xfs_file_aio_write_checks.
