We should return error number like __generic_file_write_iter, right? it
needs to return written bytes if we have written one page or more, otherwise
return error number feedbacked from write_begin.

So how about reverting 4f31d26b0c17 ("f2fs: return wrong error number on
f2fs_quota_write")?

Thanks,
