This patch removes a fix that is now being addressed in another
patch.  The code being removed also made the assumption that a
hole cannot exceed or start after i_size, but since this is no
longer the case and the source of the bug has been corrected in
a different patch, this code is no longer needed.

The removed code initally corrected a bug found in fsx,
where garbage data would appear in the last page after i_size, when
ever a hole ended in the same page as i_size.  The cause of the cause
of the garbage data has been fixed in patch
"[PATCH 2/2] ext4: let ext4_bio_write_page handle EOF correctly"

This patch set has been tested with fsx on a 1k block size, and
successfully passed 24 hours.
