Seems like we should make the new function mapping_needs_writeback more
central (mm.h or fs.h?) and call it here ^.

| +			if (i_size != 0)
| +				__filemap_fdatawait_range(mapping, 0,
| +							  i_size - 1);
| +		}
| +	}
| +	err2 = file_check_and_advance_wb_err(file);
| +	if (!err)
| +		err = err2;
| +	return err;

In the past, I've seen more elegant constructs like:
        return (err ? err : err2);
but I don't know what's considered more ugly or hackish.
