loop: stop using vfs_iter_{read,write} for buffered I/O

vfs_iter_{read,write} always perform direct I/O when the file has the
O_DIRECT flag set, which breaks disabling direct I/O using the
LOOP_SET_STATUS / LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctls.

This was recenly reported as a regression, but as far as I can tell
was only uncovered by better checking for block sizes and has been
around since the direct I/O support was added.

Fix this by using the existing aio code that calls the raw read/write
iter methods instead.  Note that despite the comments there is no need
for block drivers to ever call flush_dcache_page themselves, and the
call is a left-over from prehistoric times.

Fixes: ab1cb278bc ("block: loop: introduce ioctl command of LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO")
