btrfs: remove useless dio wait call when doing fallocate zero range
When starting a fallocate zero range operation, before getting the first extent map for the range, we make a call to inode_dio_wait(). This logic was needed in the past because direct IO writes within the i_size boundary did not take the inode's VFS lock. This was because that lock used to be a mutex, then some years ago it was switched to a rw semaphore (by commit9902af79c0
("parallel lookups: actual switch to rwsem")), and then btrfs was changed to take the VFS inode's lock in shared mode for writes that don't cross the i_size boundary (done in commite9adabb971
("btrfs: use shared lock for direct writes within EOF")). The lockless direct IO writes could result in a race with the zero range operation, resulting in the later getting a stale extent map for the range. So remove this no longer needed call to inode_dio_wait(), as fallocate takes the inode's VFS lock in exclusive mode and direct IO writes within i_size take that same lock in shared mode.
