We always return 0 even in case of an error in btrfs_mark_extent_written().
Fix it to return proper error value in case of a failure.
Oh right, this looks like it got forgotten, the whole function does the
right thing regarding errors and the callers also handle it.

Tested fstests with "-g quick" group. No new failure seen.
That won't be probably enough to trigger the error paths but the patch
Yes. However, I found the bug while stress testing btrfs/062 failure
with bs < ps patch series from Qu.
On analyzing the kernel panic [1], it looked like it was caused by not
properly returning an error from btrfs_mark_extent_written().
So, I thought of just running "-g quick" test to avoid any obvious issue.

otherwise looks correct to me. Added to misc-next, thanks.
Thanks
