ext4: add a new nolock flag in ext4_map_blocks
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_LOCK flag is added to indicate that we don't need
to acquire i_data_sem lock in ext4_map_blocks. Meanwhile, it changes
ext4_get_block() to not start a new journal because when we do a
overwrite dio, there is no any metadata that needs to be modified.
We define a new function called ext4_get_block_write_nolock, which is
used in dio overwrite nolock. In this function, it doesn't try to
acquire i_data_sem lock and doesn't start a new journal as it does a
lookup.
