I added return ret here for consistency..

I don't thinks this is right, in an error path (vdev_stop label) we
return 0? I changed this to -EIO.

I was not sure what's the idea of error path handling here, we print
warnings but still continue the normal execution. I changed this so that
we bail out in the first error and if everything goes well we return 0.
