ext4: Move to shared i_rwsem even without dioread_nolock mount opt
commit bc6385dab125d20870f0eb9ca9e589f43abb3f56 upstream. We were using shared locking only in case of dioread_nolock mount option in case of DIO overwrites. This mount condition is not needed anymore with current code, since:- 1. No race between buffered writes & DIO overwrites. Since buffIO writes takes exclusive lock & DIO overwrites will take shared locking. Also DIO path will make sure to flush and wait for any dirty page cache data. 2. No race between buffered reads & DIO overwrites, since there is no block allocation that is possible with DIO overwrites. So no stale data exposure should happen. Same is the case between DIO reads & DIO overwrites. 3. Also other paths like truncate is protected, since we wait there for any DIO in flight to be over.
