Subject: [PATCH] ext4: add error handling when discard cmd is fail in FITRIM

Although free extents is proper not trimmed(mmc driver return error code
while sending trim command), currently FITRIM ioctl return success.
Add exception routine to inform user error code.

#> ./fitrim_test
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 27232
EXT4-fs warning (device mmcblk0): ext4_trim_all_free:4857:
Discard command returned error -5
#>
Well, by this change you're actually reverting commit

d9f34504e6952e909a6932c5b2d1857716606380
	 ext4: ignore errors when issuing discards

which effectively reverts a30eec2a8.

Now I think that the way it is now is actually better than your
proposal for the reasons mentioned in the commit
d9f34504e6952e909a6932c5b2d1857716606380. However I think that the
discard errors should be logged nevertheless but not at the file
system level, but rather on block layer level if it is not done
already.

Thanks!
