Currently in case of read errors, bi_status is not
set properly which leads to returning inproper data
to higher layer. This patch fix that by setting proper
status in case of read errors

Patch also removes unnecessary warn_once(), which does
not make sense in that place, since user bio is not used
for interation with drive and thus bi_status will not be
set here.

This is by design. We do not report the read errors as in any other
block device - this is why we clone the read bio.

Could you elaborate on why not reporting read errors is a good thing in pblk?


Normal block devices do not report read errors on the completion path
unless it is a fatal error. This is actually not well understood by the
upper layers, which tend to assume that the device is completely broken.

This is a challenge for OCSSD / Denali / Zone devices as there are cases
where reads can fail. Unfortunately at this point, we need to mask these
errors and deal with them in the different layers.

Please don't include zone devices in that list. ZAC/ZBC are well-behaved, and an error is a real error.


For OCSSD currently, we do this in pblk, which I think fits well the
model as we exposed a normal block device.
