a1e09b03e6 f2fs: use iomap for direct I/O
Make f2fs_file_read_iter() and f2fs_file_write_iter() use the iomap
direct I/O implementation instead of the fs/direct-io.c one.

The iomap implementation is more efficient, and it also avoids the need
to add new features and optimizations to the old implementation.

This new implementation also eliminates the need for f2fs to hook bio
submission and completion and to allocate memory per-bio.  This is
because it's possible to correctly update f2fs's in-flight DIO counters
using __iomap_dio_rw() in combination with an implementation of
iomap_dio_ops::end_io() (as suggested by Christoph Hellwig).

When possible, this new implementation preserves existing f2fs behavior
such as the conditions for falling back to buffered I/O.

This patch has been tested with xfstests by running 'gce-xfstests -c
f2fs -g auto -X generic/017' with and without this patch; no regressions
were seen.  (Some tests fail both before and after.  generic/017 hangs
both before and after, so it had to be excluded.)

a4b6817625 f2fs: introduce periodic iostat io latency traces
Whenever we notice some sluggish issues on our machines, we are always
curious about how well all types of I/O in the f2fs filesystem are
handled. But, it's hard to get this kind of real data. First of all,
we need to reproduce the issue while turning on the profiling tool like
blktrace, but the issue doesn't happen again easily. Second, with the
intervention of any tools, the overall timing of the issue will be
slightly changed and it sometimes makes us hard to figure it out.

So, I added the feature printing out IO latency statistics tracepoint
events, which are minimal things to understand filesystem's I/O related
behaviors, into F2FS_IOSTAT kernel config. With "iostat_enable" sysfs
node on, we can get this statistics info in a periodic way and it
would cause the least overhead.

521187439a f2fs: separate out iostat feature
Added F2FS_IOSTAT config option to support getting IO statistics through
sysfs and printing out periodic IO statistics tracepoint events and
moved I/O statistics related codes into separate files for better
maintenance.
