ext4: abort the filesystem if failed to async write metadata buffer
There is a risk of filesystem inconsistency if we failed to async write
back metadata buffer in the background. Because of current buffer's end
io procedure is handled by end_buffer_async_write() in the block layer,
and it only clear the buffer's uptodate flag and mark the write_io_error
flag, so ext4 cannot detect such failure immediately. In most cases of
getting metadata buffer (e.g. ext4_read_inode_bitmap()), although the
buffer's data is actually uptodate, it may still read data from disk
because the buffer's uptodate flag has been cleared. Finally, it may
lead to on-disk filesystem inconsistency if reading old data from the
disk successfully and write them out again.
This patch detect bdev mapping->wb_err when getting journal's write
access and mark the filesystem error if bdev's mapping->wb_err was
increased, this could prevent further writing and potential
inconsistency.
