Subject: [PATCH 3.12 116/182] ext4: note the error in ext4_end_bio()

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@...ux.intel.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 9503c67c93ed0b95ba62d12d1fd09da6245dbdd6 upstream.

ext4_end_bio() currently throws away the error that it receives.  Chances
are this is part of a spate of errors, one of which will end up getting
the error returned to userspace somehow, but we shouldn't take that risk.
Also print out the errno to aid in debug.
