Subject: [PATCH 26/26] ext4: Remove ext4_ioend_wait()

Now that we clear PageWriteback after extent conversion, there's no need
to wait for io_end processing in ext4_evict_inode(). Running AIO/DIO
keeps file reference until aio_complete() is called so ext4_evict_inode()
cannot be called. For io_end structures resulting from buffered IO
waiting is happening because we wait for PageWriteback in
truncate_inode_pages().
