But _why_?  There is a verifiable thing that didn't happen to the data
if the read/write/discard fails.  If flush fails ... how do you know?
What do you do?  Is this to test that the filesystem fails properly if
the block layer or the device returns a failure?  If so, why have this
code in each filesystem?  We should support that kind of error injection
at the block layer, not individual filesystems.
