Is there a way to just have a single call to iomap_end at the end of
the function, after which we just return a previosuly setup return
value?

e.g.

out:
	if (ops->iomap_end) {
		error = ops->iomap_end(inode, pos, PAGE_SIZE,
				PAGE_SIZE, flags, &iomap);
	}

	if (error == -ENOMEM)
		return VM_FAULT_OOM | major;
	if (error < 0 && error != -EBUSY)
		return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS | major;
	return ret;
