Why should do the fall back?

Hi Jens,

That change causes problem for direct IO, for example

process 1:
fd = open("/dev/nvme0n1", O_DIRECT...);
//set stream_id 1
fadvise(fd, 1, 0, POSIX_FADV_STREAMID);
pwrite(fd, ....);

process 2:
fd = open("/dev/nvme0n1", O_DIRECT...);
//should be legacy stream_id 0
pwrite(fd, ....);

But now process 2 also see stream_id 1, which is wrong.

Thanks,
Ming
