[PATCH v8 08/18] mm: clean up error handling in write_one_page

[jlayton@kernel.org]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

Don't try to check PageError since that's potentially racy and not
necessarily going to be set after writepage errors out.

Instead, check the mapping for an error after writepage returns.
