If my understanding is correct, I still have no idea why we need to
copy data here even if fscache can do direct I/O for us without extra
efforts.

I think the only case would be tail-packing inline (which should go
through metadata path), otherwise, all data is block-aligned. So
fscache can handle it directly.
