    fs: Enable bmap() function to properly return errors · 30460e1e
    Carlos Maiolino authored
    By now, bmap() will either return the physical block number related to
    the requested file offset or 0 in case of error or the requested offset
    maps into a hole.
    This patch makes the needed changes to enable bmap() to proper return
    errors, using the return value as an error return, and now, a pointer
    must be passed to bmap() to be filled with the mapped physical block.
    
    It will change the behavior of bmap() on return:
    
    - negative value in case of error
    - zero on success or map fell into a hole
    
    In case of a hole, the *block will be zero too
    
    Since this is a prep patch, by now, the only error return is -EINVAL if
    ->bmap doesn't exist.
