[PATCH 1/6] ext2: Return BH_New buffers for zeroed blocks

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

So far we did not return BH_New buffers from ext2_get_blocks() when we
allocated and zeroed-out a block for DAX inode to avoid racy zeroing in
DAX code. This zeroing is gone these days so we can remove the
workaround.
