Revert "ext4: enforce buffer head state assertion in ext4_da_map_blocks"
This reverts commit 948ca5f3. Two crash reports from users running variations on 5.15-rc4 kernels suggest that it is premature to enforce the state assertion in the original commit. Both crashes were triggered by BUG calls in that code, indicating that under some rare circumstance the buffer head state did not match a delayed allocated block at the time the block was written out. No reproducer is available. Resolving this problem will require more time than remains in the current release cycle, so reverting the original patch for the time being is necessary to avoid any instability it may cause.
