ocfs2: fix ip_unaligned_aio deadlock with dio work queue

In the current implementation of unaligned aio+dio, lock order behave as
follow:

in user process context:
  -> call io_submit()
    -> get i_mutex
		<== window1
      -> get ip_unaligned_aio
        -> submit direct io to block device
    -> release i_mutex
  -> io_submit() return

in dio work queue context(the work queue is created in __blockdev_direct_IO):
  -> release ip_unaligned_aio
		<== window2
    -> get i_mutex
      -> clear unwritten flag & change i_size
    -> release i_mutex

There is a limitation to the thread number of dio work queue.  256 at
default.  If all 256 thread are in the above 'window2' stage, and there
is a user process in the 'window1' stage, the system will became
deadlock.  Since the user process hold i_mutex to wait ip_unaligned_aio
lock, while there is a direct bio hold ip_unaligned_aio mutex who is
waiting for a dio work queue thread to be schedule.  But all the dio
work queue thread is waiting for i_mutex lock in 'window2'.

This case only happened in a test which send a large number(more than
256) of aio at one io_submit() call.

My design is to remove ip_unaligned_aio lock.  Change it to a sync io
instead.  Just like ip_unaligned_aio lock, serialize the unaligned aio
dio.
