[PATCH] Remove f_error field from struct file
The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error.
Trond said:
f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred. Since
then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
f_error tracking there too.
