Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 33/34] ext4: don't mark IOMAP_F_DIRTY for buffer write

From: Zhang Yi <yi.zhang@...wei.com>

The data sync dirty check in ext4_inode_datasync_dirty() is expansive
since jbd2_transaction_committed() holds journal->j_state lock when
journal is enabled, it costs a lot in high-concurrency iomap buffered
read/write paths, but we never check IOMAP_F_DIRTY in these cases, so
let's check it only in swap file, dax and direct IO cases. Tested by
Unixbench on 100GB ramdisk:

./Run -c 128 -i 10 fstime fsbuffer fsdisk
