ext4: Clear dirty bit from pages without data to write
With journalled data it can happen that checkpointing code will write out page contents without clearing the page dirty bit. The logic in ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() then results in us never calling mpage_submit_page() and thus clearing the dirty bit. Drop the optimization with ext4_page_nomap_can_writeout() and just always call to mpage_submit_page(). ext4_bio_write_page() knows when to redirty the page and the additional clearing & setting of page dirty bit for ordered mode writeout is not that expensive to jump through the hoops for it.
