[PATCH 5.16 051/227] vfs: make sync_filesystem return errors from ->sync_fs

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 5679897eb104cec9e99609c3f045a0c20603da4c ]

Strangely, sync_filesystem ignores the return code from the ->sync_fs
call, which means that syscalls like syncfs(2) never see the error.
This doesn't seem right, so fix that.
