Assuming you have actually tested this - given that we've ignore
these parameters so long that I'm really fearing some callers have
started to rely on that behaviour.

I'd drop this check ere as well - no other caller does it.

Same for this check.

Also for the non-async case we should just use
filemap_write_and_wait_range, and kill off xfs_wait_on_pages.
