commit 354ae7432ee8 ("dax: add tracepoints to dax_writeback_mapping_range()")
in the -next tree, which appears in next-20170310, inadvertently changed
dax_writeback_mapping_range() so that it could end up returning a positive
value: the number of bytes flushed, as returned by dax_writeback_one().
This was incorrect. This function either needs to return a negative error
value, or zero on success.
This change was causing xfstest failures, as reported by Xiong:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/13/1220
With this fix applied to next-20170310, all the test failures reported by
Xiong (generic/075 generic/112 generic/127 generic/231 generic/263) are
resolved.
