xfs: don't take the IOLOCK exclusive for direct I/O page invalidation XFS historically took the iolock exclusive when invalidating pages before direct I/O operations to protect against writeback starvations. But this writeback starvation issues has been fixed a long time ago in the core writeback code, and all other file systems manage to do without the exclusive lock. Convert XFS over to avoid the exclusive lock in this case, and also move to range invalidations like done by the other file systems.
