Now that we have reserve enough metadata blocks for delalloc, the
ext4_nonda_switch() could be dropped, it's safe to keep on delalloc mode
for buffer write if the dirty space is high and free space is low, we
can make sure always successfully allocate the metadata block while
mapping delalloc entries in ext4_writepages().
