Subject: [PATCH] FS: EXT4: syn error in __ext4_grp_locked_error

From: Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi@...il.com>

In function __ext4_grp_locked_error,   __save_error_info
is called to save error info in super block block, but does not sync
that information to disk to info the subsequence fsck after reboot.

This patch sync the error information to disk. After this patch,
I think there is no obvious EXT4 error handle branche which leads to
"Remounting filesystem read-only" will leave the disk partition miss
the subsequence fsck.
