[RFC v2 1/5] shmem: remove check for folio lock on writepage()

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Wed Feb 22 2023 - 21:44:31 EST


Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock
on the writepage() callback so remove it. This sanity check
has been lingering since linux-history days. We remove this
as we tidy up the writepage() callback to make things a bit
clearer.
