Subject: [PATCH 4.1 061/159] NFS: nfs_set_pgio_error sometimes misses errors

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

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

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

commit e9ae58aeee8842a50f7e199d602a5ccb2e41a95f upstream.

We should ensure that we always set the pgio_header's error field
if a READ or WRITE RPC call returns an error. The current code depends
on 'hdr->good_bytes' always being initialised to a large value, which
is not always done correctly by callers.
When this happens, applications may end up missing important errors.
