Subject: btrfs: fix incorrect error return ret being passed to mapping_set_error

From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit bff5baf8aa37a97293725a16c03f49872249c07e ]

The setting of return code ret should be based on the error code passed into function end_extent_writepage and not on ret. Thanks to Liu Bo for spotting this mistake in the original fix I submitted.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1414312 ("Logically dead code")
