[PATCH v3 13/15] netfs: Fix writeback error handling

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Fix the error handling in writeback_iter() loop.  If an error occurs,
writeback_iter() needs to be called again with *error set to the error so
that it can clean up iteration state.  Further, the current folio needs
unlocking and redirtying.

Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")
