Subject: [PATCH] iomap: avoid unnecessary ifs_set_range_uptodate() with locks

From: Jinliang Zheng <alexjlzheng@...cent.com>

In the buffer write path, iomap_set_range_uptodate() is called every
time iomap_end_write() is called. But if folio_test_uptodate() holds, we
know that all blocks in this folio are already in the uptodate state, so
there is no need to go deep into the critical section of state_lock to
execute bitmap_set().

Although state_lock may not have significant lock contention due to
folio lock, this patch at least reduces the number of instructions.
