ocfs2: Use buffer IO if we are appending a file.

In ocfs2_file_aio_write, we will prevent direct io if
we find that we are appending(changing i_size) and call
generic_file_aio_write_nolock. But actually O_DIRECT flag
is there and this function will call generic_file_direct_write
eventually which will update i_size and leave di->i_size
alone. The bug is
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1173.

So this patch let ocfs2_direct_IO returns 0 directly if we
are appending so that buffered write will be called and
di->i_size get updated successfully. And this is also
what we want in ocfs2_file_aio_write.
