  To: linux-erofs; +Cc: LKML, oliver.yang, Gao Xiang, Yuxuan Liu

Document the `directio` mount option for file-backed mounts, because
recent users need this and this mount option has been available since
commit 6422cde1b0d5 ("erofs: use buffered I/O for file-backed mounts
by default") without proper documentation.
