Currently iomap_dio_rw() only handles (data)sync write completions
for AIO. This means we can't optimised non-AIO IO to minimise device
flushes as we can't tell the caller whether a flush is required or
not.

To solve this problem and enable further optimisations, make
iomap_dio_rw responsible for data sync behaviour for all IO, not
just AIO.

In doing so, the sync operation is now accounted as part of the DIO
IO by inode_dio_end(), hence post-IO data stability updates will no
long race against operations that serialise via inode_dio_wait()
such as truncate or hole punch.
