ext4: make sure the journal sb is written in ext4_clear_journal_err()
After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in memory, we never flushed it out to disk). This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this confused state, either.
