iomap: Remove large folio handling in iomap_invalidate_folio()
[ Upstream commit a221ab717c43147f728d93513923ba3528f861bf ]
We do not need to release the iomap_page in iomap_invalidate_folio()
to allow the folio to be split. The splitting code will call
->release_folio() if there is still per-fs private data attached to
the folio. At that point, we will check if the folio is still dirty
and decline to release the iomap_page. It is possible to trigger the
warning in perfectly legitimate circumstances (eg if a disk read fails,
we do a partial write to the folio, then we truncate the folio), which
will cause those writes to be lost.
