[PATCH] Remove f_error field from struct file

The following patch removes the f_error field and all checks of f_error.

Trond said:

  f_error was introduced for NFS, and made sense when we were guaranteed
  always to have a file pointer around when write errors occurred.  Since
  then, we have (for various reasons) had to introduce the nfs_open_context in
  order to track the file read/write state, and it made sense to move our
  f_error tracking there too.
