iomap can return -ENOTBLK if pagecache invalidation fails.
Let's make sure if -ENOTBLK is ever returned for atomic
writes than we fail the write request (-EIO) instead of
fallback to buffered-io.

This should be on top of John's atomic write series [1].

We need not pick this patch up. As after the careful review of the code,
it seems XFS can never fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic writes. 

Hence we don't need this patch. More details in [1].

(Sorry for the noise).
