Pre-existing ext4 issue. It assumes that unwritten extent conversion
occurs even on IO submission error. i.e. when we avoid the stale
data exposure bug that the bisect-blamed commit fixed, ext4 warns
that it failed to expose stale data....

I'd just remove that warning, but I have no idea how that impacts on
the rest of ext4's end IO handling. Christoph, Ted, the ball is in
your court for this one.

Cheers,

Dave.
