ext4: Do not fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic write

atomic writes is currently only supported for single fsblock and only
for direct-io. We should not return -ENOTBLK for atomic writes since we
want the atomic write request to either complete fully or fail
otherwise. Hence, we should never fallback to buffered-io in case of
DIO atomic write requests.
Let's also catch if this ever happens by adding some WARN_ON_ONCE before
buffered-io handling for direct-io atomic writes. More details of the
discussion [1].

While at it let's add an inline helper ext4_want_directio_fallback() which
simplifies the logic checks and inherently fixes condition on when to return
-ENOTBLK which otherwise was always returning true for any write or directio in
ext4_iomap_end(). It was ok since ext4 only supports direct-io via iomap.
