This error is discarded in the current code after resetting the error in
the mapping. With the earlier patches in this set we don't need to reset
the error like this anymore.
Now, if this code should doing something else with those errors, then
that's a separate problem.

...and this should wait. Basically, filemap_write_and_wait does
filemap_fdatawrite and then filemap_fdatawait. This is mostly just
replacing the existing code with a more concise helper.
