As a step towards freeing the PG_error flag for other uses, change ext4 and f2fs to stop using PG_error to track verity errors. Instead, if a verity error occurs, just mark the whole bio as failed. The coarser granularity isn't really a problem since it isn't any worse than what the block layer provides, and errors from a multi-page readahead aren't reported to applications unless a single-page read fails too. f2fs supports compression, which makes the f2fs changes a bit more complicated than desired, but the basic premise still works. Note: there are still a few uses of PageError in f2fs, but they are on the write path, so they are unrelated and this patch doesn't touch them.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
