Subject: [PATCH 4.4 38/91] libnvdimm, btt: fix btt_rw_page not returning errors

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

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

From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@...el.com>

commit c13c43d54f2c6a3be1c675766778ac1ad8dfbfcc upstream.

btt_rw_page was not propagating errors frm btt_do_bvec, resulting in any
IO errors via the rw_page path going unnoticed. the pmem driver recently
fixed this in e10624f pmem: fail io-requests to known bad blocks
but same problem in BTT went neglected.

Fixes: 5212e11fde4d ("nd_btt: atomic sector updates")
