Subject: [PATCH 3.19 072/177] btrfs: fix lost return value due to variable shadowing

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

------------------

From: David Sterba <dsterba@...e.cz>

commit 1932b7be973b554ffe20a5bba6ffaed6fa995cdc upstream.

A block-local variable stores error code but btrfs_get_blocks_direct may
not return it in the end as there's a ret defined in the function scope.

Fixes: d187663ef24c ("Btrfs: lock extents as we map them in DIO")
