ext3: add an option to control error handling on file data

Browse source 
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because most of
applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical systems.  On the
other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable.  So this patch
introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.

If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.
