[XFS] Block on unwritten extent conversion during synchronous direct I/O.
Currently we do not wait on extent conversion to occur, and hence we can
return to userspace from a synchronous direct I/O write without having
completed all the actions in the write. Hence a read after the write may
see zeroes (unwritten extent) rather than the data that was written.
Block the I/O completion by triggering a synchronous workqueue flush to
ensure that the conversion has occurred before we return to userspace.
