[PATCH 3/5] NFS: Further fixes to the writeback error handling

[trondmy@kernel.org]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

When we handle an error by redirtying the page, we're not corrupting the
mapping, so we don't want the error to be recorded in the mapping.
If the caller has specified a sync_mode of WB_SYNC_NONE, we can just
return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. However if we're dealing with
WB_SYNC_ALL, we need to ensure that retries happen when the errors are
non-fatal.

Reported-by: Olga Kornievskaia <aglo@umich.edu>
Fixes: 8fc75bed96bb ("NFS: Fix up return value on fatal errors in nfs_page_async_flush()")
