ext4: Drop special handling of journalled data from ext4_evict_inode()

Now that ext4_writepages() makes sure journalled data is on stable
storage, write_inode_now() call in iput_final() is enough to make
pagecache pages with journalled data really clean (data committed and
checkpointed). So we can drop special handling of journalled data in
ext4_evict_inode().
