[PATCH] fs: optimise generic_write_check_limits()

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Fri Aug 06 2021 - 07:22:58 EST


Even though ->s_maxbytes is used by generic_write_check_limits() only in
case of O_LARGEFILE, the value is loaded unconditionally, which is heavy
and takes 4 indirect loads. Optimise it by not touching ->s_maxbytes,
if it's not going to be used.
