btrfs: remove useless dio wait call when doing fallocate zero range

When starting a fallocate zero range operation, before getting the first
extent map for the range, we make a call to inode_dio_wait().

This logic was needed in the past because direct IO writes within the
i_size boundary did not take the inode's VFS lock. This was because that
lock used to be a mutex, then some years ago it was switched to a rw
semaphore (by commit 9902af79 ("parallel lookups: actual switch to
rwsem")), and then btrfs was changed to take the VFS inode's lock in
shared mode for writes that don't cross the i_size boundary (done in
commit e9adabb9 ("btrfs: use shared lock for direct writes within
EOF")). The lockless direct IO writes could result in a race with the
zero range operation, resulting in the later getting a stale extent
map for the range.

So remove this no longer needed call to inode_dio_wait(), as fallocate
takes the inode's VFS lock in exclusive mode and direct IO writes within
i_size take that same lock in shared mode.
