mm: have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC
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.
