e2fsck: exit from preenhalt if IO errors were encountered
If a block device is read-only, e2fsck -p gets into an infinite loop
trying to preenhalt, closing and flushing the fs, which tries to flush
the cache, which gets a write error and calls preenhalt which tries to
close and flush the fs ... ad infinitum.
Per Ted's suggestion just flag the ctx as "exiting" and short-circuit
the infinite loop.
Tested by running e2fsck -p on a block device set read-only by BLKROSET.
Thanks to Vlado Potisk for reporting this.
