[PATCH] btrfs: do not start and wait for delalloc on snapshot roots on transaction commit

[fdmanana@kernel.org]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

We do not need anymore to start writeback for delalloc of roots that are
being snapshoted and wait for it to complete. This was done in commit
609e804d771f59 ("Btrfs: fix file corruption after snapshotting due to mix
of buffered/DIO writes") to fix a type of file corruption where files in a
snapshot end up having their i_size updated in a non-ordered way, leaving
implicit file holes, when buffered IO writes that increase a file's size
are followed by direct IO writes that also increase the file's size.

This is not needed anymore because we now have a more generic mechanism
to prevent a non-ordered i_size update since commit 9ddc959e802bf7
("btrfs: use the file extent tree infrastructure"), which addresses this
scenario involving snapshots as well.
