[RFC PATCH v3 24/26] ext4: partially enable iomap for regular file's buffered IO path

From: Zhang Yi

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Partially enable iomap for regular file's buffered IO path on default
mount option and default filesystem features. Set inode state flag
EXT4_STATE_BUFFERED_IOMAP when creating one inode to indicate that this
inode choice the iomap path.

Now it still have many limitations, it doesn't support inline data,
fs_verity, fs_crypt, defrag, bigalloc, dax and data=journal mode yet, so
we have to fallback to buffered_head path if these options/features were
enabled. I hope these would be supported gradually in the future.
