stream: always invoke callback before emitting error

doc/api/stream.md

@@ -571,7 +571,8 @@ The `writable.write()` method writes some data to the stream, and calls the
 supplied `callback` once the data has been fully handled. If an error
 occurs, the `callback` *may or may not* be called with the error as its
 first argument. To reliably detect write errors, add a listener for the

 The return value is `true` if the internal buffer is less than the
 `highWaterMark` configured when the stream was created after admitting `chunk`.
