Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] afs: check function return

From: Tom Rix <trix@...hat.com>

Static analysis reports this problem

write.c:773:29: warning: Assigned value is garbage or undefined
  mapping->writeback_index = next;
                           ^ ~~~~
The call to afs_writepages_region() can return without setting
next.  So check the function return before using next.

Changes:
 ver #2:
   - Need to fix the range_cyclic case also[1].
