[PATCH] Fix the error handling in direct I/O
Fix a bug on error handling in the direct I/O function.
Currently, if a file is opened with the O_DIRECT|O_SYNC flag, the write()
syscall cannot receive the EIO error after an I/O error (SCSI cable is
disconnected etc.).
Return values of other points that call generic_osync_inode() are treated
appropriately.
