Just cosmetic, and already in the existing code, but I'd prefer if we
could keep the ret assignments together, something like:

	status = blk_execute_rq(NULL, req, at_head);
  	if (nvme_req(req)->flags & NVME_REQ_CANCELLED)
 		ret = -EINTR;
	else if (nvme_req(req)->status)
		ret = nvme_req(req)->status;
	else
		ret = blk_status_to_errno(status);

 	if (result)
 		*result = nvme_req(req)->result;

I think we want a helper for all this return value magic instead of
duplicating it.
