Always do bug fixes first.  Always do the easiest least controversial
after first.

Do the error handling bug first.  Change "rv" to int.  That's closely
related to the error handling.  Then set_page_dirty_lock().  Then the
conversion to pin_user_pages().

Then if you want you can do any unrelated clean ups and error label
renames as patch 4.
