I think this should be something like:

__iomap_read_end_io(bio, blk_status_to_errno(bio->bi_status));

Otherwise the error is never propagated when iomap_read_end_io() is later
called from task context. Maybe worth rearranging slightly to avoid the
blk_status_to_errno() call for non-error I/Os?

I was planning on carrying this and 7/8 in the next version of my series
so that the procedural version has users, but I'll send without for now.
