Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Remove the obsolete broken EXT4_IOC32_WAIT_FOR_READONLY.

From: Tao Ma <boyu.mt@...bao.com>

There are no user of EXT4_IOC32_WAIT_FOR_READONLY and also it is
broken. No one set the set_ro_timer, no one wake up us and our
state is set to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE not RUNNING. So remove it.
