Eryu noticed that he could sometimes get a leftover error reported when
it shouldn't be on fsync with ext2 and non-journalled ext4. The problem
is that writeback_single_inode still uses filemap_fdatawait. That picks
up a previously set AS_EIO flag, which would ordinarily have been
cleared before.

Since we're mostly using this function as a replacement for
filemap_check_errors, have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO
and AS_ENOSPC when reporting an error. That should allow the new
function to better emulate the behavior of the old with respect to these
flags.

Andrew, would you mind picking this patch up? It seems to work fine for
me, but it wouldn't hurt to let it stew in linux-next for a bit.

Thanks,
