Subject: [PATCH v3 18/20] mm: clean up error handling in write_one_page

Don't try to check PageError since that's potentially racy and not
necessarily going to be set after writepage errors out.

Instead, sample the mapping error early on, and use that value to tell
us whether we got a writeback error since then.
