io_complete_rw() is called from an IRQ context, so it can't sleep/wait.

Don't remember what the second argument of .ki_complete is for,
but it definitely should not be used for issue_flags. E.g. because
we get two different meanings for it depending on a context --
either a result from the block layer or issue_flags.
