We don't need to attach ordered extents that have completed to the current transaction. Doing so only makes us hold memory for longer than necessary and delaying the iput of the inode until the transaction is committed (for each created ordered extent we do an igrab and then schedule an asynchronous iput when the ordered extent's reference count drops to 0), preventing the inode from being evictable until the transaction commits.
