If 'dirsync' is enabled, when zeroing a cluster, submitting
sector by sector will generate many block requests, will
cause the block device to not fully perform its performance.
This commit makes the sectors in a cluster to be submitted in
once, it will reduce the number of block requests. This will
make the block device to give full play to its performance.
Test create 1000 directories on SD card with:
$ time (for ((i=0;i<1000;i++)); do mkdir dir${i}; done)
Performance has been improved by more than 73% on imx6q-sabrelite.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
