nilfs_sufile_mark_dirty(), which marks a block in the sufile metadata file as dirty in preparation for log writing, returns -ENOENT to the caller if the block containing the segment usage of the specified segment is missing. This internal code can propagate through the log writer to system calls such as fsync. To prevent this, treat this case as a filesystem error and return -EIO instead.
