    xfs: check for buffer errors before waiting · 0e95f19a

    If we call xfs_buf_iowait() on a buffer that failed dispatch due to
    an IO error, it will wait forever for an Io that does not exist.
    This is hndled in xfs_buf_read, but there is other code that calls
    xfs_buf_iowait directly that doesn't.
    
    Rather than make the call sites have to handle checking for dispatch
    errors and then checking for completion errors, make
    xfs_buf_iowait() check for dispatch errors on the buffer before
    waiting. This means we handle both dispatch and completion errors
    with one set of error handling at the caller sites.
