[PATCH 09/10] ext4: abort the filesystem while freeing the write error io buffer

["zhangyi (F)" <yi.zhang@huawei.com>]

Now we can prevent reading old metadata buffer from the disk which has
been failed to write out through checking write io error when getting
the buffer. One more thing need to do is to prevent freeing the write
io error buffer. If the buffer was freed, we lose the latest data and
buffer stats, finally it will also lead to inconsistency.

So, this patch abort the journal in journal mode and invoke
ext4_error_err() in nojournal mode to prevent further inconsistency.
