This could happen when orig_bio has BIO_CHAIN (split by md_submit_bio => bio_split_to_limits, for example). As a result, upper layer may miss error reported from md (or the device) and consider the failed IO was successful. Fix this by only update orig_bio->bi_status when current bio reports error and orig_bio is BLK_STS_OK. This is the same behavior as __bio_chain_endio().
