Actually, I'm much more comfortable backing out commit 6de9843da
entirely.  The above is *not* equivalent to what we had before ---
consider the case where ext4_map_blocks returns !EXT4_MAP_MAPPED && 
!EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN.

I don't *think* this should happen in the case where ext4_map_blocks
returns a value > 0, but the fact that it's not obvious, means I'd
much rather keep things the way that they are.  It's not like dropping
the set_buffer_mapped(bh) was saving anything measurable anyway....
