mm: remove optimizations based on i_size in mapping writeback waits
Marcelo added this i_size based optimization with a patch in 2004
(commitid is from the linux-history tree):

small wait_on_page_writeback_range() optimization
filemap_fdatawait() calls wait_on_page_writeback_range() with -1
as "end" parameter. This is not needed since we know the EOF
from the inode. Use that instead.
There may be races here, particularly with clustered or network
filesystems. It also seems like a bit of a layering violation since
we're operating on an address_space here, not an inode.
Finally, it's also questionable whether this optimization really helps
on workloads that we care about. Should we be optimizing for writeback
vs. truncate races in a codepath where we expect to wait anyway? It
doesn't seem worth the risk.
Remove this optimization from the filemap_fdatawait codepaths. This
means that filemap_fdatawait becomes a trivial wrapper around
filemap_fdatawait_range.
