[PATCH 5.10 08/86] vfs: make sync_filesystem return errors from ->sync_fs

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5679897eb104cec9e99609c3f045a0c20603da4c upstream.

[backport to 5.10 only differs in __sync_blockdev helper]

Strangely, sync_filesystem ignores the return code from the ->sync_fs
call, which means that syscalls like syncfs(2) never see the error.
This doesn't seem right, so fix that.
