[PATCH 06/26] netfs: Fix the handling of stream->front by removing it

The netfs_io_stream::front member is meant to point to the subrequest
currently being collected on a stream, but it isn't actually used this way
by direct write (which mostly ignores it).  However, there's a tracepoint
which looks at it.  Further, stream->front is actually redundant with
stream->subrequests.next.

Fix the potential problem in the direct code by just removing the member
and using stream->subrequests.next instead, thereby also simplifying the
code.

Fixes: a0b4c7a49137 ("netfs: Fix unbuffered/DIO writes to dispatch subrequests in strict sequence")
