Ni Xun 63e812637c ext4: drop unnecessary journal handle in delalloc write
mainline inclusion
from mainline-5.15-rc4
commit cc883236b79297f6266ca6f4e7f24f3fd3c736c1
category: perf
bugzilla: NA
CVE: NA
---------------------------

After we factor out the inline data write procedure from
ext4_da_write_end(), we don't need to start journal handle for the cases
of both buffer overwrite and append-write. If we need to update
i_disksize, mark_inode_dirty() do start handle and update inode buffer.
So we could just remove all the journal handle codes in the delalloc
write procedure.

After this patch, we could get a lot of performance improvement. Below
is the Unixbench comparison data test on my machine with 'Intel Xeon
Gold 5120' CPU and nvme SSD backend.

Test cmd:

  ./Run -c 56 -i 3 fstime fsbuffer fsdisk
