iomap: remove old partial eof zeroing optimization

Browse source

iomap_zero_range() optimizes the partial eof block zeroing use case
by force zeroing if the mapping is dirty. This is to avoid frequent
flushing on file extending workloads, which hurts performance.

Now that the folio batch mechanism provides a more generic solution
and is used by the only real zero range user (XFS), this isolated
optimization is no longer needed. Remove the unnecessary code and
let callers use the folio batch or fall back to flushing by default.
