Title:
  shiftfs: add O_DIRECT support

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Disco:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  Impact: Currently shiftfs does not handle O_DIRECT if the underlay
  supports it. This is blocking dqlite - an essential part of LXD - from
  profiting from the performance benefits of O_DIRECT on suitable
  filesystems when used with async io such as aio or io_uring.

  Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs and virtually none since we
  have not supported this feature before.

  Test Case: Run LXD with dqlite on a kernel that has support for
  shiftfs with O_DIRECT.

  Target Kernels: All LTS kernels with shiftfs support.
