Subject: [RFCv2 3/8] ext4: Use __generic_file_fsync_nolock implementation

ext4 when got converted to iomap for dio, it copied __generic_file_fsync
implementation to avoid taking inode_lock in order to avoid any deadlock
(since iomap takes an inode_lock while calling generic_write_sync()).

The previous patch already added it's _nolock variant. Hence kill the
redundant code and use __generic_file_fsync_nolock() function instead.
