Subject: [PATCH 4.19 126/220] gfs2: slow the deluge of io error messages

From: Bob Peterson <rpeterso@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit b524abcc01483b2ac093cc6a8a2a7375558d2b64 ]

When an io error is hit, it calls gfs2_io_error_bh_i for every
journal buffer it can't write. Since we changed gfs2_io_error_bh_i
recently to withdraw later in the cycle, it sends a flood of
errors to the console. This patch checks for the file system already
being withdrawn, and if so, doesn't send more messages. It doesn't
stop the flood of messages, but it slows it down and keeps it more
reasonable.
