This patch aligns the start block address of a file for direct io to the f2fs's
section size.
Some flash devices manage an over 4KB-sized page as a write unit, and if the
direct_io'ed data are written but not aligned to that unit, the performance can
be degraded due to the partial page copies.
Thus, since f2fs has a section that is well aligned to FTL units, we can align
the block address to the section size so that f2fs avoids this misalignment.
