inode_dio_wait generally is only safe to call with i_rwsem held
exclsuively, so if we'd need the call for the !need_iolock this would
be broken.  Fortunately we don't even need the call in that case, so
this should be safe.  I'd still prefer to move the inode_dio_wait call
into the need_iolock block to make that clear, though.
