v1:
cover letter: (nfs: check writeback errors correctly)

v2:
- return more nuanced writeback errors in nfs_file_write().
- return writeback error in close()->flush() without consumed it.
- fix: nfs_file_write() will always call nfs_wb_all() even if there is no
new writeback error.


ChenXiaoSong (3):
   NFS: return more nuanced writeback errors in nfs_file_write()
   NFS: nfs{,4}_file_flush() return correct writeback errors
   Revert "nfs: nfs_file_write() should check for writeback errors"

It is not a good idea to modify error sequence mechanism, as the `lib/errseq.c` described:

    22  * Note that there is a risk of collisions if new errors are being recorded
     23  * frequently, since we have so few bits to use as a counter.
     24  *
    25  * To mitigate this, one bit is used as a flag to tell whether the value has     26  * been sampled since a new value was recorded. That allows us to avoid bumping     27  * the counter if no one has sampled it since the last time an error was
     28  * recorded.


So, if we want to report nuanced writeback error, it is better to detect wb error from filemap_check_errors(), and then return -(file->f_mapping->wb_err & MAX_ERRNO) to userspace without consume it.

   nfs_mapping_set_error
     mapping_set_error
       __filemap_set_wb_err // record error sequence
         errseq_set
       set_bit(..., &mapping->flags) // record address_space flag

   // it is not used to be reported, just used to detect
   error = filemap_check_errors // -ENOSPC or -EIO
     test_and_clear_bit(..., &mapping->flags) // error bit cleared

   // now we try to return nuanced writeback error
   if (error)
   return filemap_check_wb_err(file->f_mapping, 0);
     return -(file->f_mapping->wb_err & MAX_ERRNO)
