Dave Chinner noticed that xfs_file_dio_aio_write returns EAGAIN without dropping the IOLOCK when its deciding not to wait, which means that we leak the IOLOCK there. Since we now make unaligned directio always wait, we have the opportunity to bail out before trying to take the lock, which should reduce the overhead of this never-gonna-work case considerably while also solving the dropped lock problem.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
