blk-lib: fix error reporting The function bio_batch_end_io ignores -EOPNOTSUPP. It doesn't matter for discard (the device isn't required to discard anything, so missing the error code and reporting success shouldn't cause any trouble). However, for WRITE SAME command, missing the error code is obviously wrong. It may fool the user into thinking that the data were written while in fact they weren't. Note that in device mapper, devices may be dynamically reconfigured, so a device that supports WRITE SAME may stop supporting it at any time and return -EOPNOTSUPP. Ignoring -EOPNOTSUPP is wrong. This patch changes bio_batch->flags to an error field and stores the last error there - so that the error is reported accurately and it isn't ignored.
