Subject: [PATCH v4 02/10] mm/page_io: remove unneeded SetPageError()

From: ZhangPeng <zhangpeng362@...wei.com>

Nobody checks the PageError()/folio_test_error() for the page/folio in
__end_swap_bio_read/write() and sio_write_complete(). Therefore, we
don't need to set the error flag. Just drop it.
