ext4: fix nomblk_io_submit option so it correctly converts uninit blocks

Bug discovered by Jan Kara:

Finally, commit 1449032be17abb69116dbc393f67ceb8bd034f92 returned back
the old IO submission code but apparently it forgot to return the old
handling of uninitialized buffers so we unconditionnaly call
block_write_full_page() without specifying end_io function. So AFAICS
we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For
example when I mount the fs as: mount -t ext4 -o
nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
        int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
        char buf[1024];
        memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
        fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);
        write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));

I get a file full of zeros (after remounting the filesystem so that
pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.
