Btrfs: ensure ordered extent errors aren't missed on fsync
When doing a fsync with a fast path we have a time window where we can miss the fact that writeback of some file data failed, and therefore we endup returning success (0) from fsync when we should return an error. The steps that lead to this are the following: 1) We start all ordered extents by calling filemap_fdatawrite_range(); 2) We do some other work like locking the inode's i_mutex, start a transaction, start a log transaction, etc; 3) We enter btrfs_log_inode(), acquire the inode's log_mutex and collect all the ordered extents from inode's ordered tree into a list; 4) But by the time we do ordered extent collection, some ordered extents we started at step 1) might have already completed with an error, and therefore we didn't found them in the ordered tree and had no idea they finished with an error. This makes our fsync return success (0) to userspace, but has no bad effects on the log like for example insertion of file extent items into the log that point to unwritten extents, because the invalid extent maps were removed before the ordered extent completed (in inode.c:btrfs_finish_ordered_io). So after collecting the ordered extents just check if the inode's i_mapping has any error flags set (AS_EIO or AS_ENOSPC) and leave with an error if it does. Whenever writeback fails for a page of an ordered extent, we call mapping_set_error (done in extent_io.c:end_extent_writepage, called by extent_io.c:end_bio_extent_writepage) that sets one of those error flags in the inode's i_mapping flags. This change also has the side effect of fixing the issue where for fast fsyncs we never checked/cleared the error flags from the inode's i_mapping flags, which means that a full fsync performed after a fast fsync could get such errors that belonged to the fast fsync - because the full fsync calls btrfs_wait_ordered_range() which calls filemap_fdatawait_range(), and the later checks for and clears those flags, while for fast fsyncs we never call filemap_fdatawait_range() or anything else that checks for and clears the error flags from the inode's i_mapping.
