[PATCH v2 14/21] ocfs2: check for a metadata write error with buffer_write_io_error()

[Chao Shi <coshi036@gmail.com>]

ocfs2_write_block() and ocfs2_write_super_or_backup() detect a failed write
by looking at BH_Uptodate afterwards.  That relies on the write completion
handler clearing BH_Uptodate on error, which this series removes: a buffer
whose write failed still holds the data the filesystem asked to be written,
so declaring it not up to date is wrong and makes callers re-read it.

Test BH_Write_EIO instead.  Note that ocfs2_write_block()'s test is the
positive one, so the sense has to be inverted rather than the flag simply
swapped.

The comment in ocfs2_write_block()'s error arm needs updating for the same
reason.  It said the clustered uptodate information did not have to be
removed because the buffer was not marked locally uptodate; after this
series it is, so the reason no longer holds.  Not advertising the block to
the cluster is still the right thing to do - the data is in memory but not
on disk - so only the justification changes, not the behaviour.

No behaviour change today - a failed write sets BH_Write_EIO and clears
BH_Uptodate together.  It stops being a no-op at the end of the series,
where the new test is the one that still works.
