Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ext4: handle errors in ext4_clear_blocks()
Checking return code from ext4_journal_get_write_access() is important
with snapshots, because this function invokes COW, so may return new
errors, such as ENOSPC.
ext4_clear_blocks() now returns < 0 for fatal errors, in which case,
ext4_free_data() is aborted.
