[PATCH v2 03/10] ntfs: propagate EA write and truncate errors

[Baolin Liu]

From: Baolin Liu <liubaolin@xxxxxxxxxx>

ntfs_write_ea() replaces negative write errors with EIO and ignores
errors when shrinking the attribute after writing a shorter list.
This can report success even though the final resize failed.

Preserve negative write errors, use EIO for short writes, and return
truncate failures to the caller.
