The direct IO code is over a thousand lines and it's currently spread between file.c and inode.c, which makes it not easy to locate some parts of it sometimes. Also inode.c is about 11 thousand lines and file.c about 4 thousand lines, both too big. So move all the direct IO code into a dedicated file, so that it's easy to locate all its code and reduce the sizes of inode.c and file.c. This is a pure move of code without any other changes except export a a couple functions from inode.c (get_extent_allocation_hint() and create_io_em()) because they are used in inode.c and the new direct-io.c file, and a couple functions from file.c (btrfs_buffered_write() and btrfs_write_check()) because they are used both in file.c and in the new direct-io.c file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
