[PATCH 04/34] fs: remove the buffer_unwritten check in page_seek_hole_data

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2018-05-18 16:48:00
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, linux-xfs
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

We only call into this function through the iomap iterators, so we already
know the buffer is unwritten.  In addition to that we always require the
uptodate flag that is ORed with the result anyway.
