Subject: [PATCH 006 of 35] Only call bi_end_io once for any bio.


Current bi_end_io can be called multiple times as sub-requests complete.
However no ->bi_end_io function wants to know about that.  So
only call when the bio is complete.

Note that bi_sector and bi_size are now not updated when subrequests
complete.  This does not appear to be a problem as they are not
used (any longer) once a bio has been attached to a request,
except where bi_size is offset by rq->first_offset.

This allows us to remove q->bi_size as it is no longer needed.
