[PATCH 2/4] vfs: make sync_filesystem return errors from ->sync_fs

["Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Strangely, sync_filesystem ignores the return code from the ->sync_fs
call, which means that syscalls like syncfs(2) never see the error.
This doesn't seem right, so fix that.
