[PATCH] f2fs: return symlink writeback errors

[Wenjie Qi <qwjhust@gmail.com>]

F2FS writes long symlink data with page_symlink() and then flushes the
symlink mapping to reduce the chance of exposing a broken symlink.

That flush result is currently ignored. If the writeback fails, symlink()
still returns success even though the symlink is not durable and the same
operation can already surface -EIO through syncfs().

Return the writeback error to userspace and skip the dirsync flush once the
symlink data flush has failed.

Fixes: 424fd5d831e1 ("f2fs: Remove f2fs_get_node_page()")

Reproducer:
- enable FAULT_WRITE_IO on the mounted F2FS filesystem
- create a long symlink so the target is written through page_symlink()
- old kernel: symlink() returns 0, syncfs() returns -EIO, and the symlink is
  absent after remount
- new kernel: symlink() returns -EIO
