Revert "gfs2: Fix mmap locking for write faults"
This reverts commit b7f55d928e75557295c1ac280c291b738905b6fb. As explained by Linus in [*], write faults on a mmap region are reads from a filesysten point of view, so taking the inode glock exclusively on write faults is incorrect. Instead, when a page is marked writable, the .page_mkwrite vm operation will be called, which is where the exclusive lock taking needs to happen. I got this wrong because of a broken test case that made me believe .page_mkwrite isn't getting called when it actually is.
