IOMAP_DIO_NOSYNC earlier was added for use in btrfs. But it seems for aio dsync writes this is not useful anyway. For aio dsync case, we we queue the request and return -EIOCBQUEUED. Now, since IOMAP_DIO_NOSYNC doesn't let iomap_dio_complete() to call generic_write_sync(), hence we may lose the sync write. Hence kill this flag as it is not in use by any FS now.

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 Restructured Text 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.
