I think we don't need such a complicated judgment, after the journal 
replay and saving the error info,
if there is EXT4_ERROR_FS flag in ext4_sb_info->s_mount_state, just add 
this flag directly to es->s_state.
This way the EXT4_ERROR_FS flag and the error message will be written to 
disk the next time
ext4_commit_super() is executed. The code change is as follows:

diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c
index 260c1b3e3ef2..341b11c589b3 100644
