AFAICS the same issue also exists for the other goto fail case,
so we should convert the code at that label to a bio_endio().

I think both this and the existing -EAGAIN case and even the
-EIOCBQUEUED case leak the reference on the original bio.  Or am
I missing something?

It might makes sense to stop playing games with that bio refcount
and just have a status field in struct blkdev_dio.
