This is caused by an f2fs bug where it exposes DIO-allocated blocks to users
before they have been initialized.  This test actually fails both before and
after my commit "f2fs: use iomap for direct I/O".  It is nondeterministic, which
is why it may have appeared to be a regression.

I'll start a separate discussion on linux-f2fs-devel about this, since this
thread has too many irrelevant mailing lists and this has been discussed before.
