mainlining shenanigans

If a blkdev_issue_flush fails, fsync needs to report that to upper
levels. Modify xfs_file_fsync to capture the errors, while trying to
flush as much data and log updates to disk as possible.
If log writes cannot flush the data device, we need to shut down the log
immediately because we've violated a log invariant. Modify this code to
check the return value of blkdev_issue_flush as well.
This behavior seems to go back to about 2.6.15 or so, which makes this
fixes tag a bit misleading.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
