rqd.error is masked by the return value of pblk_submit_io_sync. The rqd structure is then passed on to the end_io function, which assumes that any error should lead to a chunk being marked offline/bad. Since the pblk_submit_io_sync can fail before the command is issued to the device, the error value maybe not correspond to a media failure, leading to chunks being immaturely retired. Also, the pblk_blk_erase_sync function prints an error message in case the erase fails. Since the caller prints an error message by itself, remove the error message in this function.
