[PATCH v2] ovl: don't set the superblock's errseq_t manually

[Haifeng Xu]

Since commit 5679897eb104 ("vfs: make sync_filesystem return errors from
->sync_fs"), the return value from sync_fs callback can be seen in
sync_filesystem(). Thus the errseq_set opreation can be removed here.

Depends-on: commit 5679897eb104 ("vfs: make sync_filesystem return errors from ->sync_fs")
