Subject: [PATCH] iomap: Handle I/O errors gracefully in page_mkwrite

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@...radead.org>

Test generic/019 often results in:

WARNING: at fs/iomap/buffered-io.c:1069 iomap_page_mkwrite_actor+0x57/0x70

Since this can happen due to a storage error, we should not WARN for it.
Just return -EIO, which will be converted to a SIGBUS for the hapless
task attempting to write to the page that we can't read.
