Direct IO does not operate on the current working set of pages managed by the kernel, so it should not be accounted as memory stall to PSI infrastructure. The block layer and iomap direct IO use bio_iov_iter_get_pages() to build bios, and they are the only users of it, so to avoid PSI tracking for them clear out BIO_WORKINGSET flag. Do same for dio_bio_submit() because fs/direct_io constructs bios by hand directly calling bio_add_page().
