I think that MEDIA_FAILURE looks better.

If dirty bit is set in on-disk volume flags, we can just return 0 at the beginning
of this function ?

How about set or clear only dirty bit to on-disk volume flags instead of using
sbi->vol_flags_noclear ?
if (set)
p_boot->vol_flags |= cpu_to_le16(VOL_DIRTY);
else
p_boot->vol_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~VOL_DIRTY);
