Merge patch series "re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files v6"

Browse source 
Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> says:

Hi all,

commit 66fa3cedf1 ("fs: Add async write file modification handling.")
effectively disabled IOCB_NOWAIT writes as timestamp updates currently
always require blocking, and the modern timestamp resolution means we
always update timestamps.  This leads to a lot of context switches from
applications using io_uring to submit file writes, making it often worse
than using the legacy aio code that is not using IOCB_NOWAIT.

This series allows non-blocking updates for lazytime if the file system
supports it, and adds that support for XFS.
