commit 626b035b816b61a7a7b4d2205a6807e2f11a18c1 upstream.

Currently on calling echo 3 > drop_caches on host machine, we see
FS corruption in the guest. This happens on Power machine where
blocksize < pagesize.

So as a temporary workaound don't enable dioread_nolock by default
for blocksize < pagesize until we identify the root cause.

Also emit a warning msg in case if this mount option is manually
enabled for blocksize < pagesize.
