Before submitting I/O and allocating blocks with the
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO flag set, ext4_split_convert_extents() may
convert the target extent range to initialized due to ENOSPC, ENOMEM, or
EQUOTA errors. However, it still marks the mapping as incorrectly
unwritten. Although this may not seem to cause any practical problems,
it will result in an unnecessary extent conversion operation after I/O
completion. Therefore, it's better to correct the returned mapping
status.
