Subject: [PATCH 3.16 031/233] btrfs: fix incorrect error return ret being
 passed to mapping_set_error

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

commit bff5baf8aa37a97293725a16c03f49872249c07e upstream.

The setting of return code ret should be based on the error code
passed into function end_extent_writepage and not on ret. Thanks
to Liu Bo for spotting this mistake in the original fix I submitted.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1414312 ("Logically dead code")
