writeback: don't call mapping_set_error on AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE

Patch series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator", v8.

This is an evolution of the series Matthew Wilcox originally sent in June
2023, which has changed quite a bit since and now has a while based
iterator.


This patch (of 14):

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)
