cifs: don't fail writepages on -EAGAIN errors

Browse source

If CIFSSMBWrite2 returns -EAGAIN, then the error should be considered
temporary. CIFS should retry the write instead of setting an error on
the mapping and returning.

For WB_SYNC_ALL, just retry the write immediately. In the WB_SYNC_NONE
case, call redirty_page_for_writeback on all of the pages that didn't
get written out and then move on.

Also, fix up the handling of a short write with a successful return
code. MS-CIFS says that 0 bytes_written means ENOSPC or EFBIG. It
doesn't mention what a short, but non-zero write means, so for now
treat it as we would an -EAGAIN return.
