block: enable RWF_DONTCACHE for block devices
Block device buffered reads and writes already pass through
filemap_read() and iomap_file_buffered_write() respectively, both of
which handle IOCB_DONTCACHE. Enable RWF_DONTCACHE for block device files
by setting FOP_DONTCACHE in def_blk_fops.
For CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD=y, writeback goes through buffer_head's
__bh_submit() which sets BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK on dropbehind folios. For
CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD=n, writeback goes through iomap which handles it via
BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK on the ioend bio.
This support is useful for databases that operate on raw block devices,
among other userspace applications.
