Ext4 has its own configurable error handling policy, so it's helpful
if we can use it also in the context of memory error handling.
With this patch, when we detect a memory error on a dirty pagecache in
ext4 filesystem, we can allow users to choose to trigger kernel panic
to avoid consuming corrupted data.
