Hmm... error is zero here, so probably need change "return error" to "return EIO".

Instead of replicating all of __sync_dirty_buffer() here, we should
just add a check to __sync_dirty_buffer() and have it return EIO if
bh->bdev is NULL.  (Which I think is a better check than checking
buffer_mapped).
