dd fails on gnu test tests/dd/direct.sh - dynamic removal of O_DIRECT missing

[cre4ture]

I started fixing remaining issues from the GNU test suite that are related to dd as this was the last util I was working on.

I investigated what the issue is by manual tests and using strace.
Summary:
The test tries to do file copy with the direct input and output mode.
direct mode is special as it has some restrictions regarding the buffer locations and its size:
While a direct read apparently succeds in the case when it reads the last chunk from a file that is irregularily sized,
a direct write fails if we try to write a buffer that doesn't match the blocksize.

I used strace to figure out how GNU is solving it.
Aparently it gets rid of the O_DIRECT status flag before writing the last chunk by using the fcntl system call.

I'm alread working on a solution
