    NFS: clean up NFS client's a_ops->direct_IO method · b8a32e2b

    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.
