ext4: support STATX_DIOALIGN

Add support for STATX_DIOALIGN to ext4, so that direct I/O alignment
restrictions are exposed to userspace in a generic way.

+ * DIO isn't well specified; when it's unsupported (either due to the request

+ * either fall back to buffered I/O or return EINVAL.  For files that don't use

+ * In this case, we should attempt the DIO, *not* fall back to buffered I/O.
+ *
+ * In contrast, in cases where DIO is unsupported due to ext4 features, ext4
+ * traditionally falls back to buffered I/O.
