Subject: [PATCH 4.9 30/33] NFS: Do not report writeback errors in nfs_getattr()

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

[ Upstream commit d19e0183a88306acda07f4a01fedeeffe2a2a06b ]

The result of the writeback, whether it is an ENOSPC or an EIO, or
anything else, does not inhibit the NFS client from reporting the
correct file timestamps.

Fixes: 79566ef018f5 ("NFS: Getattr doesn't require data sync semantics")
