So I don't think this is quite correct. IOCB_DSYNC gets set also for O_SYNC
writes (in that case we also set IOCB_SYNC). And for those we cannot use
the FUA optimization AFAICT (definitely IOMAP_F_DIRTY isn't a safe
indicator of a need of full fsync for O_SYNC). Other than that the patch
looks good to me.
