v4:
- switch to dedicated errseq_t cursor in struct file for syncfs
- drop ioctl for fetching the errseq_t without syncing

This is the fourth posting of this patchset. After thinking about it
more, I think multiplexing file->f_wb_err based on O_PATH open is just
too weird. I think it'd be better if syncfs() "just worked" as expected
no matter what sort of fd you use, or how you multiplex it with fsync.

Also (at least on x86_64) there is currently a 4 byte pad at the end of
the struct so this doesn't end up growing the memory utilization anyway.
Does anyone object to doing this?

I've also dropped the ioctl patch. I have a draft patch to expose that
via fsinfo, but that functionality is really separate from returning an
error to syncfs. We can look at that after the syncfs piece is settled.
