This changelog needs a little love. s/VM_FAULT_RO/VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC/, the
new path doesn't do the RO mapping, but instead just does the entire RW
mapping after the fdatasync is complete, the vmf->orig_pte manipulation went
away, etc.

Just a small nit, but I don't think we really need to check for 'write' here.
The fact that IOMAP_F_NEEDDSYNC is set tells us that we are doing a write.
if ((flags & IOMAP_WRITE) &&
!jbd2_transaction_committed(EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_journal,
EXT4_I(inode)->i_datasync_tid))
iomap->flags |= IOMAP_F_NEEDDSYNC;
Ditto for the PMD case.
With that one simplification and a cleaned up changelog, you can add:
