Since this function can get called only from fsync(2) or sync(2), this is actually as good as it can currently get since we correctly propagate the error up from dax_writeback_mapping_range() to filemap_fdatawrite(). However in the future better writeback error handling will enable us to properly report these errors on fsync(2) even if there are multiple file descriptors open against the file or if sync(2) gets called before fsync(2). So convert DAX to using standard error reporting through the mapping.
