I did not fully grasp the refactoring yet, so just some superficial
ramblings for now:

How is this related to the rest of the patch?  Maybe just add it
in a prep patch?

Maybe user IS_ERR_OR_NULL and PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO here to catch the NULL
case as well?  e.g.

	for (;;) {
		....
		lv = xlog_write_partial();
		if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(lv)) {
			error = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(lv);
			break;
		}
	}

This seems misplaced.
