[PATCH v3 4/4] ext4: support uncached buffered I/O

From: Taotao Chen <chentaotao at didiglobal.com>

Set FOP_DONTCACHE in ext4_file_operations to declare support for
uncached buffered I/O.

To handle this flag, add processing for IOCB_DONTCACHE in
ext4_write_begin() and ext4_da_write_begin() by passing FGP_DONTCACHE
to page cache lookups.

Part of a series refactoring address_space_operations write_begin and
write_end callbacks to use struct kiocb for passing write context and
flags.
