[PATCH] fix invalidate_inode_pages2_range not to clear ret

[Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

DIO invalidates page cache through invalidate_inode_pages2_range().
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() sets ret=-EIO when invalidate_complete_page2()
fails, but this ret is cleared if do_launder_page() succeed on a page of 
next index.
In this case, dio is carried out even if invalidate_complete_page2() fails 
on some pages.
This can cause inconsistency between memory and blocks on HDD because the page
cache still exists.

Following patch fixes this issue.

Thanks.
