Subject: [PATCH 27/29] ext4: Remove wait for unwritten extents in ext4_ind_direct_IO()

We don't have to wait for unwritten extent conversion in
ext4_ind_direct_IO() as all writes that happened before DIO are flushed
by the generic code and extent conversion has happened before we cleared
PageWriteback bit.
