mapping_set_error should only be called on 0 returns (which it ignores)
or a negative error code.

writepage_cb ends up being able to call writepage_cb on the magic
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE return value from ->writepage which means
success but the caller needs to unlock the page.  Ignore that and
just call mapping_set_error on negative errors.

(no fixes tag as this goes back more than 20 years over various renames
 and refactors so I've given up chasing down the original introduction)
