Fix this by never issuing misaligned DIO out of order. This fix means
the DIO-aligned middle will only use AIO completion if there is no
misaligned end segment. Otherwise, all 3 segments of a misaligned DIO
will be issued without AIO completion to ensure file offset increases
properly for all partial READ or WRITE situations.
Factoring out nfs_local_iter_setup() helps standardize repetitive
nfs_local_iters_setup_dio() code and is inspired by cleanup work that
Chuck Lever did on the NFSD Direct code.
