ext4: clean up the flags passed to __blockdev_direct_IO
For extent-based files, you can perform DIO to holes, as mentioned in the comments in ext4_ext_direct_IO. However, that function passes DIO_SKIP_HOLES to __blockdev_direct_IO, which is *really* confusing to the uninitiated reader. The key, here, is that the get_block function passed in, ext4_get_block_write, completely ignores the create flag that is passed to it (the create flag is passed in from the direct I/O code, which uses the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag to determine whether or not it should be cleared). This is a long-winded way of saying that the DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag is ultimately ignored. So let's remove it.
