netfs: Remove redundant use of smp_rmb()
The function netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() in fs/netfs/direct_write.c contains an unnecessary smp_rmb() call after wait_on_bit(). Since wait_on_bit() already incorporates a memory barrier that ensures the flag update is visible before the function returns, the smp_rmb() provides no additional benefit and incurs unnecessary overhead. This patch removes the redundant barrier to simplify and optimize the code.
