[PATCH v2 12/14] netfs: Fix writeback error handling

Fix the error handling in writeback_iter() loop. If an error occurs,
writeback_iter() needs to be called again with *error set to the error so
that it can clean up iteration state. Further, the current folio needs
unlocking and redirtying.
Fixes: 288ace2f57c9 ("netfs: New writeback implementation")
