[PATCHv11 5/9] block, fs: add write hint to kiocb

[Keith Busch]

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

This prepares for sources other than the inode to provide a write hint.
The block layer will use it for direct IO if the requested hint is
within the block device's allowed hints. The hint field in the kiocb
structure fits in an existing 2-byte hole, so its size is not changed.
