The buffer I/O submission path consists of separate function calls per type. The buffer I/O type is already controlled via buffer state (XBF_ASYNC), however, so there is no real need for separate submission functions. Combine the buffer submission functions into a single function that processes the buffer appropriately based on XBF_ASYNC. Retain an internal helper with a conditional wait parameter to continue to support batched !XBF_ASYNC submission/completion required by delwri queues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
