ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings
If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot* of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps. While it's true that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original root cause of the problem. So in the case where the filesystem has aborted, return an EROFS right away. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
