Subject: [PATCH 2/4 v2] ext4: Remove unnecessary wait_event ext4_run_lazyinit_thread()

For some reason we have been waiting for lazyinit thread to start in the
ext4_run_lazyinit_thread() but it is not needed anymore so get rid of
it. We can also remove li_task and li_wait_task since it is not used
anymore.
