Don't like this, as it adds unnecessary atomics for the sync case.
What's wrong with just adjusting dio->size if we get BLK_QC_T_EAGAIN?
It's safe to do so, since we're doing the final put later. We just can't
do it for the normal case of submit_bio() succeeding. Kill the new 'ret'
usage and return to what we had as well, it's more readable too imho.

Totally untested...
