Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] ext4: remove ext4_buffer_uptodate()

After we add ext4_end_buffer_async_write() callback into block layer to
detect metadata buffer's async write error in the background, we can
remove the partial fix for filesystem inconsistency problem caused by
reading old data from disk in commit <7963e5ac9012> "ext4: treat buffers
with write errors as containing valid data" and <cf2834a5ed57> "ext4:
treat buffers contining write errors as valid in ext4_sb_bread()".
