io_uring: avoid hashing O_DIRECT writes if the filesystem doesn't need it
io_uring hashes writes to a given file/inode so that it can serialize them. This is useful if the file system needs exclusive access to the file to perform the write, as otherwise we end up with a ton of io-wq threads trying to lock the inode at the same time. This can cause excessive system time. But if the file system has flagged that it supports parallel O_DIRECT writes, then there's no need to serialize the writes. Check for that through FMODE_DIO_PARALLEL_WRITE and don't hash it if we don't need to. In a basic test of 8 threads writing to a file on XFS on a gen2 Optane, with each thread writing in 4k chunks, it improves performance from ~1350K IOPS (or ~5290MiB/sec) to ~1410K IOPS (or ~5500MiB/sec).
