ext4: fix data corruption caused by unaligned direct AIO

generic/538 still can trigger a failure on ext4, I hit it once on ppc64le machine:

--- Comment #1 from Zorro Lang ([email protected]) ---
ppc64le(64k pagesize, 512b sector size) can reproduce this bug nearly 100%. I just ran it 200 times on pcc64le, all failed[1]. But x86_64 can't trigger this issue, even I use 1k block size ext4.
