In some cases, the fi->writepages may be empty. And there is no need to check fi->writepages with spin_lock, which may have an impact on performance due to lock contention. For example, in scenarios where multiple readers read the same file without any writers, or where the page cache is not enabled. Also remove the outdated comment since commit 6b2fb79963fb ("fuse: optimize writepages search") has optimize the situation by replacing list with rb-tree.
