If a FUSE server returns FOPEN_DIRECT_IO in response to FUSE_OPEN, that
instructs the kernel to bypass the page cache for that file. This feature
is also known by libfuse's name: "direct_io".
However, when accessing a file via mmap, there is no possible way to bypass
the cache completely. This change fixes a deadlock that would happen when
an mmap'd write tried to invalidate a portion of the cache, wrongly assuming
that a write couldn't possibly come from cache if direct_io were set.
Arguably, we could instead disable mmap for files with FOPEN_DIRECT_IO set.
But allowing it is less likely to cause user complaints, and is more in
keeping with the spirit of open(2), where O_DIRECT instructs the kernel to
"reduce", not "eliminate" cache effects.
