NFS: clean up NFS client's a_ops->direct_IO method
The NFS client's a_ops->direct_IO method, nfs_direct_IO, is required to
be present to allow NFS files to be opened with O_DIRECT, but is never
called because the NFS client shunts reads and writes to files opened
with O_DIRECT directly to its own routines.
Gut the nfs_direct_IO function. This eliminates the only part of the
NFS client's direct I/O path that requires support for multi-segment
iovs, allowing further simplification in subsequent patches.
Test plan:
Compile the kernel with CONFIG_NFS and CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO enabled. Millions
of fsx-odirect ops. OraSim.
