Code wise this looks ok, but the changelog could really describe what
you're changing and why it is correct.

I.e. the kunmap(p_page) was completely left out, so we never did an
unmap for the p_page and the loop unmapping the rbio page was iterating
over the wrong number of stripes, the map is done with nr_data vs
rbio->real_stripes for the unmap.

With the above (roughly) placed in the changelog:
