I think we really need a vfs_ wrapper here similar to what I did a while
ago, e.g. vfs_iter_read/write_async.

And the io_submit style read/write also works for buffered I/O, so no
need to keep lo_write_simple/lo_read_simple around.

If you don't complete the request here setting req->error doesn't
make sense.  I'd suggest to move the blk_mq_complete_request for
everything but the trivial error case into the actual I/O handlers
to clean this up a bit, too.
