ext4: rename s_error_work to s_sb_upd_work

jira VULN-65357
cve-pre CVE-2025-22113

commit bb15cea
upstream-diff |
  Ignored the changes to the `ext4_maybe_update_superblock()' function
  introduced by ff0722d which is missing
  from ciqlts9_2 history and is not functionally neutral.

The most common use that s_error_work will get scheduled is now the
periodic update of the superblock.  So rename it to s_sb_upd_work.

Also rename the function flush_stashed_error_work() to
update_super_work().
