Yes, I believe the simpler and more correct fix is:

diff --git a/fs/buffer.c b/fs/buffer.c
index 38653e3..16b2263 100644
--- a/fs/buffer.c
+++ b/fs/buffer.c
@@ -2926,14 +2926,13 @@ int submit_bh(int rw, struct buffer_head * bh)
 	BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh));
 	BUG_ON(!bh->b_end_io);
 
-	if (buffer_ordered(bh) && (rw == WRITE))
+	if (buffer_ordered(bh) && (rw & WRITE))
 		rw = WRITE_BARRIER;
 
 	/*

-	if (test_set_buffer_req(bh) && (rw == WRITE || rw == WRITE_BARRIER))
+	if (test_set_buffer_req(bh) && (rw & WRITE))
 		clear_buffer_write_io_error(bh);
