Subject: [PATCH 03/29] ext4: Clear buffer_uninit flag when submitting IO

Currently noone cleared buffer_uninit flag. This results in writeback
needlessly marking io_end as needing extent conversion scanning extent
tree for extents to convert. So clear the buffer_uninit flag once the
buffer is submitted for IO and the flag is transformed into
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag.
