Set BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK on iomap writeback bios when a dropbehind folio is added. This ensures that bi_end_io runs in task context, where folio_end_dropbehind() can safely invalidate folios. With the bio layer now handling task-context deferral generically, IOMAP_IOEND_DONTCACHE is no longer needed, as XFS no longer needs to route DONTCACHE ioends through its completion workqueue. Remove the flag and its NOMERGE entry. Without the NOMERGE, regular I/Os that get merged with a dropbehind folio will also have their completion deferred to task context.
