ext4 uses the blockdev mapping for tracking metadata stored in the
pagecache. Sample its wb_err when opening a file and store that in
the f_md_wb_err field.

Change ext4_sync_file to check for data errors first, and then check the
blockdev mapping for metadata errors afterward.

Note that because metadata writeback errors are only tracked on a
per-device level, this does mean that we'll end up reporting an error on
all open file descriptors when there is a metadata writeback failure.
That's not ideal, but we can possibly improve upon it in the future.
