Subject: f2fs: let fill_super handle roll-forward errors
From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit afd2b4da40b3b567ef8d8e6881479345a2312a03 upstream.
If we set CP_ERROR_FLAG in roll-forward error, f2fs is no longer to proceed
any IOs due to f2fs_cp_error(). But, for example, if some stale data is involved
on roll-forward process, we're able to get -ENOENT, getting fs stuck.
If we get any error, let fill_super set SBI_NEED_FSCK and try to recover back
to stable point.
