nfs/localio: add direct IO enablement with sync and async IO support



This commit simply adds the required O_DIRECT plumbing.  It doesn't
address the fact that NFS doesn't ensure all writes are page aligned
(nor device logical block size aligned as required by O_DIRECT).

Because NFS will read-modify-write for IO that isn't aligned, LOCALIO
will not use O_DIRECT semantics by default if/when an application
requests the use of O_DIRECT.  Allow the use of O_DIRECT semantics by:
1: Adding a flag to the nfs_pgio_header struct to allow the NFS
   O_DIRECT layer to signal that O_DIRECT was used by the application
2: Adding a 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' NFS module parameter that
   when enabled will cause LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT semantics (this may
   cause IO to fail if applications do not properly align their IO).

This commit is derived from code developed by Weston Andros Adamson.
