[PATCH] bcache: fix double bio_endio completion in detached_dev_end_io

Commit 53280e398471 ("bcache: fix improper use of bi_end_io") attempted
to fix up bio completions by replacing manual bi_end_io calls with
bio_endio(). However, it introduced a double-completion bug in the
detached_dev path.

In a normal completion path, the call stack is:
blk_update_request
bio_endio(bio)
bio->bi_end_io(bio) -> detached_dev_end_io
bio_endio(bio) <- BUG: second call

To fix this, detached_dev_end_io() must manually call the next completion
handler in the chain.

However, in detached_dev_do_request(), if a discard is unsupported, the
bio is rejected before being submitted to the lower level. In this case,
we can use the standard bio_endio().

detached_dev_do_request
bio_endio(bio) <- Correct: starts completion for
unsubmitted bio
