Hi Linus,

This last minute fix prevents writeback error state from persisting past
the end of the in-core inode lifecycle and causing EIO errors to be
reported to userspace when no error has occurred.

This fix for the behavioral regression has been soaking in for-next for
a while, but various fs developers persuaded me to try to get it
upstream for 4.17 because the patch that broke things was introduced in
4.17-rc4.  It merges cleanly with master as of this morning.

(If you prefer I hold it for 4.18 and send it to stable for 4.17.1 as
originally planned, that's fine too.)
