Subject: [PATCH] ext4: remove the redundant folio_wait_stable()

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

__filemap_get_folio() with FGP_WRITEBEGIN parameter has already wait
for stable folio, so remove the redundant folio_wait_stable() in
ext4_da_write_begin(), it was left over from the commit cc883236b792
("ext4: drop unnecessary journal handle in delalloc write") that
removed the retry getting page logic.

Fixes: cc883236b792 ("ext4: drop unnecessary journal handle in delalloc write")
