Subject: [PATCH v7 16/22] block: convert to errseq_t based writeback error tracking

This is a very minimal conversion to errseq_t based error tracking
for raw block device access.

Only real change that is strictly required is that we must
unconditionally call filemap_report_wb_err in blkdev_fsync.
That ensures that the file's errseq_t is always advanced to
the latest value in the mapping.

Note that there are internal callers that call sync_blockdev
and the like that are not affected by this. They'll continue
to use the AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC flags for error reporting like
they always have for now.
