NFS: Further fixes to the writeback error handling
[ Upstream commit c6fd3511c3397dd9cbc6dc5d105bbedb69bf4061 ]
When we handle an error by redirtying the page, we're not corrupting the
mapping, so we don't want the error to be recorded in the mapping.
If the caller has specified a sync_mode of WB_SYNC_NONE, we can just
return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. However if we're dealing with
WB_SYNC_ALL, we need to ensure that retries happen when the errors are
non-fatal.
