3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 60bb45297f7551833346c5cebc6d483ea17ea5f2 upstream.
If DIO results in short write and sync write fails, we want to bugger off
whether the DIO part has written anything or not; the logics on the return
will take care of the right return value.
