Ok.

Perhaps, though DOE is not a fast path, and block I/O defaults to a 30
second timeout, so I don't think anyone would blink at a 2 seconds for
DOE.

I'm not a big fan of copying spec names *if* Linux has a more
idiomatic name for the concept. I am mainly reviewing this from the
perspective that 'struct bio' and 'struct request' naming /
organization is idiomatic for Linux driver transaction flows. Up to
this point in the review I was mapping tasks to bios and exchanges to
requests but then the usage of "req" in this function name threw off
my ontology. At a minimum a decoder ring style comment, like your
reply, about the relationship between these terms would help avoid
this exercise again.

Just reduction in machinery that needs to be maintained /
comprehended. 2 wait primitives when one will do will always be a
tempting cleanup target.

It just seems an unnecessary hunk of code for the core to carry when
it's trivial for a client of the core to do:

task->private = &completion;
task->end_task = complete_completion;
submit_task()
wait_for_completion(&completion);

It obfuscates what the lock is protecting if it's used for state
management and atomic flag management, but I am not holding the pen
here, so I can let this arbitrary trade-off go.
