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 generic_buffer_fsync() which does not take any inode_lock(). Hence kill the redundant code and use generic_buffer_fsync() function instead.
