ext4: Use generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() implementation

Browse source

ext4 when got converted to iomap for dio, it copied __generic_file_fsync
implementation to avoid taking inode_lock in order to avoid any deadlock
(since iomap takes an inode_lock while calling generic_write_sync()).

The previous patch already added generic_buffers_fsync*() which does not
take any inode_lock(). Hence kill the redundant code and use
generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() function instead.
