Thanks for this suggestion. Yeah, we could do this, it depends on the second
patch, if we check and flush the pending work here, we could not use the
end_buffer_async_write() in ext4_end_buffer_async_write(), we need to open
coding ext4_end_buffer_async_write() and queue the error work before the
buffer is unlocked, or else the race is still there. Do you agree ?

Thanks,
Yi.
