4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> commit 493611ebd62673f39e2f52c2561182c558a21cb6 upstream. With COW files they are the hotpath, just like for files with the extent size hint attribute. We really shouldn't micro-manage anything but failure cases with unlikely. Additionally Arnd Bergmann recently reported that one of these two unlikely annotations causes link failures together with an upcoming kernel instrumentation patch, so let's get rid of it ASAP.
