As said last time: in the callers the assert is completely pointless,
as it is always very close to taking the lock.  This was just intended
to deal with callers not adhering to the iomap_dio_rw calling
conventins, and moving the assert to the calllers doesn't help with
that at all.

So if you think you need to remove it do just that and write a changelog
explaining the why much better.
