Don't ignore return values from ext4_ext_dirty, since the errors indicate valid failures below Ext4. In all of the other instances of ext4_ext_dirty calls, the error return value is handled in some way. This patch makes those remaining couple of places to handle ext4_ext_dirty errors as well. In the longer run, we probably should make sure that errors from other mark_dirty routines are handled as well. Ran gce-xfstests smoke tests and verified that there were no regressions.
