Fix cachefiles to set subreq->error before calling
netfs_prepare_write_failed() otherwise netfslib will try (and fail) to
retry the subrequest (it shouldn't retry writes to the cache, but rather
abandon them).  This causes it to hang waiting for the request to complete.

Fixes: 1a9fe4b6e787 ("cachefiles: Don't rely on backing fs storage map for most use cases")
