block: remove plugging at buffered write time
Buffered write(2) is not directly tied to IO, so it's not suitable to handle plug in generic_file_aio_write(). Note that plugging for O_SYNC writes is also removed. The user may pass arbitrary @size arguments, which may be much larger than the preferable I/O size, or may cross extent/device boundaries. Let the lower layers handle the plugging. The plugging code here actually turns them into no-ops. CC: Li Shaohua <shli@fusionio.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
