Subject: [PATCH] ext4: handle errors on ext4_commit_super

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@...gle.com>

When remounting ext4 from ro to rw, currently it allows its transition,
even if ext4_commit_super() returns EIO. Even worse thing is, after that,
fs/buffer complains buffer dirty bits like:

 Call trace:
