[PATCH 1/4] xfs: remove nonblocking mode from xfs_vm_writepage

[Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove the nonblocking optimisation done for mapping lookups during
writeback. It's not clear that leaving a hole in the writeback range
just because we couldn't get a lock is really a win, as it makes us
do another small random IO later on rather than a large sequential
IO now.

As this gets in the way of sane error handling later on, just remove
for the moment and we can re-introduce an equivalent optimisation in
future if we see problems due to extent map lock contention.
