Because current ->iomap_begin() for ext4 buffered IO path
(i.e. __ext4_iomap_buffered_io_begin()) is simple, almost only the map
blocks handlers are different for read, da write and no da write paths,
the rest of the function parameter check and inode status check are
the same, and I noticed that the ->iomap_begin() for direct IO path
(i.e. ext4_iomap_begin()) also implemented in one function. So I'd
like to save some code now, and it looks like implement them in one
function doesn't make this function too complicated, I guess we could
split them if things change in the future.

But think about it again, split them now could make things more clear,
it's also fine to me.

Thanks,
Yi.
