Use the errseq APIs to discover writeback errors instead of filemap_check_errors(). This gives us more precise information about whether this writeback generated the error. This will no longer clear errors, so they will be visible to other users, which is what we want. Take this opportunity to de-indent filemap_write_and_wait_range().
