Pull io_uring buffered writes support from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains support for buffered writes, specifically for XFS. btrfs
  is in progress, will be coming in the next release.

  io_uring does support buffered writes on any file type, but since the
  buffered write path just always -EAGAIN (or -EOPNOTSUPP) any attempt
  to do so if IOCB_NOWAIT is set, any buffered write will effectively be
  handled by io-wq offload. This isn't very efficient, and we even have
  specific code in io-wq to serialize buffered writes to the same inode
  to avoid further inefficiencies with thread offload.

  This is particularly sad since most buffered writes don't block, they
  simply copy data to a page and dirty it. With this pull request, we
  can handle buffered writes a lot more effiently.

  If balance_dirty_pages() needs to block, we back off on writes as
  indicated.

  This improves buffered write support by 2-3x.

  Jan Kara helped with the mm bits for this, and Stefan handled the
  fs/iomap/xfs/io_uring parts of it"
