We do test with inject error fault base on v4.19, after test some time we found sync /dev/sda always failed. [root@localhost] sync /dev/sda sync: error syncing '/dev/sda': Input/output error

As 8d6996630c03 introduce 'fq->rq_status', this data only update when 'flush_rq' reference count isn't zero. If flush request once failed and record error code in 'fq->rq_status'. If there is no chance to update 'fq->rq_status',then do fsync will always failed. To address this issue reset 'fq->rq_status' after return error code to upper layer.
