EXT4_TUNE_FL_FORCE_FSCK sets EXT4_ERROR_FS in the on-disk superblock
but leaves s_mount_state unchanged. On a normal read-write unmount,
ext4_put_super() restores s_state from s_mount_state, clearing the
requested flag.

As a result, a successful EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM call can be lost
before e2fsck runs: after unmount it treats the filesystem as clean
and skips the requested check.

Set EXT4_ERROR_FS in s_mount_state as well, matching the state handling
in ext4_clear_journal_err(), so later superblock updates retain the
request.

Fixes: 04a91570ac67 ("ext4: implemet new ioctls to set and get superblock parameters")
