loop: only write back pagecache when starting to to use direct I/O
There is no point in doing an fdatasync to write out pages when switching away from direct I/O, as there won't be any. The writeback is only needed when switching to direct I/O, which would have to invalidate the pagecache less efficiently from the I/O path.
