Subject: ext4: check iomap type only if ext4_iomap_begin() does not fail

From: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fa83c34e3e56b3c672af38059e066242655271b1 upstream.

When ext4_iomap_overwrite_begin() calls ext4_iomap_begin() map blocks may
fail for some reason (e.g. memory allocation failure, bare disk write), and
later because "iomap->type ! = IOMAP_MAPPED" triggers WARN_ON(). When ext4
iomap_begin() returns an error, it is normal that the type of iomap->type
may not match the expectation. Therefore, we only determine if iomap->type
is as expected when ext4_iomap_begin() is executed successfully.
