Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] 9p: fix ignored return value in v9fs_dir_release

retval from filemap_fdatawrite was immediately overwritten by the
following p9_fid_put: preserve any error in fdatawrite if there
was any first.

This fixes the following scan-build warning:
fs/9p/vfs_dir.c:220:4: warning: Value stored to 'retval' is never read [deadcode.DeadStores]
                        retval = filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping);
                        ^        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixes: d9bc0d11e33b ("fs/9p: Consolidate file operations and add readahead and writeback")
