Subject: [PATCH 6.0 04/34] nilfs2: replace WARN_ONs by nilfs_error for checkpoint acquisition failure

From: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@...il.com>

commit 723ac751208f6d6540191689cfbf6c77135a7a1b upstream.

If creation or finalization of a checkpoint fails due to anomalies in the
checkpoint metadata on disk, a kernel warning is generated.

This patch replaces the WARN_ONs by nilfs_error, so that a kernel, booted
with panic_on_warn, does not panic.  A nilfs_error is appropriate here to
handle the abnormal filesystem condition.

This also replaces the detected error codes with an I/O error so that
neither of the internal error codes is returned to callers.
