I believe this will break use cases where the file system sets
bh->b_end_io and then calls submit_bh(), which then calls
submit_bh_wbc(). That's because with this change, calls to
submit_bh_wbc() --- include submit_bh() --- ignores bh->b_end_io and
results in end_bio_bh_io_sync getting used.
Filesystems that do this includes fs/ntfs, fs/resiserfs.
In this case, that can probably be fixed by changing submit_bh() to
pass in bh->b_end_io, or switching those users to use the new
bh_submit() function to prevent these breakages.
