I tried this (with the typo fixed) and it indeed issues a re-write.
However, it doesn't seem to do anything with the corrected errors
count if the rewrite succeeds.  Since end_sync_write() is only used one
other place when !In_sync, I tried the following and it seems to work
to get the error count updated.  I don't know whether this belongs in
end_sync_write() but I'd think it needs to come after the write actually
succeeds so that seems like the earliest it could be done.
