Tal Zussman efbde6f9f4 iomap: use BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK for dropbehind writeback
Set BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK on iomap writeback bios when a dropbehind folio
is added. This ensures that bi_end_io runs in task context, where
folio_end_dropbehind() can safely invalidate folios.

With the bio layer now handling task-context deferral generically,
IOMAP_IOEND_DONTCACHE is no longer needed, as XFS no longer needs to
route DONTCACHE ioends through its completion workqueue. Remove the flag
and its NOMERGE entry.

Without the NOMERGE, regular I/Os that get merged with a dropbehind
folio will also have their completion deferred to task context.
