Add nfsd_file_dio_alignment and use it to avoid issuing misaligned IO using O_DIRECT. Any misaligned DIO falls back to using buffered IO. Because misaligned DIO is now handled safely, remove the nfs modparam 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' that was added to require users opt-in to the requirement that all O_DIRECT be properly DIO-aligned. Also, introduce nfs_iov_iter_aligned_bvec() which is a variant of iov_iter_aligned_bvec() that also verifies the offset associated with an iov_iter is DIO-aligned. NOTE: in a parallel effort, iov_iter_aligned_bvec() is being removed along with iov_iter_is_aligned(). Lastly, add pr_info_ratelimited if underlying filesystem returns -EINVAL because it was made to try O_DIRECT for IO that is not DIO-aligned (shouldn't happen, so its best to be louder if it does).

Given how new this is, do we want to completely eliminate control by the admin? It might be better to just flip the default first. At least then if someone hits an issue with this the still have the ability to turn it off?

nit: these pr_info messages could be more useful. Maybe print the device+inode numbers, and info about the I/O that was attempted?
