Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ubifs: remove broken lazytime support

When "ubifs: introduce UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT to ubifs" introduces atime
support to ubifs, it also lazytime support, but that support is
terminally broken, as it causes mark_inode_dirty_sync to be called from
__writeback_single_inode, which will then trigger the locking assert
in ubifs_dirty_inode.  Just remove this broken support for now, it can
be readded later, especially as some infrastructure changes should
make that easier soon.

Fixes: 8c1c5f263833 ("ubifs: introduce UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT to ubifs")
