It's confusing to return success while redirtying the inode at the
same time in ->write_inode(). Return -EAGAIN to indicate that we've
not finished with this inode.

Impact: it's a cleanup, not bug fix.

Looks good, but since this is a cleanup, I'm queueing it for 3.1 rather
than pushing it in the regression-fixing window.
