direct-io: Fix boundary block handling

When we read/write a file sequentially, we will read/write not only the
data blocks but also the indirect blocks that may not be physically
adjacent to the data blocks.  So filesystems set the BH_Boundary flag to
submit the previous I/O before reading/writing an indirect block.

However the generic direct IO code mishandles buffer_boundary(), setting
sdio->boundary before each submit_page_section() call which results in
sending only one page bios as underlying code thinks this page is the last
in the contiguous extent.  So fix the problem by setting sdio->boundary
only if the current page is really the last one in the mapped extent.
