Subject: [PATCH 3/3] block: Remove forced page bouncing under IO

From: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>

JBD layer wrote back data buffers without setting PageWriteback bit.
Thus standard mechanism for guaranteeing stable pages under IO did not
work. Since JBD is gone now and there is no other user of the
functionality, just remove it.
