ext4: Fix fsync error handling after filesystem abort
If filesystem was aborted after inode's write back is complete but before its metadata was updated we may return success results in data loss. In order to handle fs abort correctly we have to check fs state once we discover that it is in MS_RDONLY state Test case: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/244297 Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
