Hi!

Is it possible that someone calls bio_endio with done < bi_size and an
error set? If it is so, the error is ignored by clone_endio.

"if (bio->bi_size) return 1;" gets executed before the error parameter
gets checked.

When clone_endio is executed, say, two times and the first time it get's
called with an error and the second time without, device-mapper calls
bio_endio on the original bio without noticing the error.
