3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Beulich [ Upstream commit 0e5e098ac22dae38f957e951b70d3cf73beff0f7 ] Commit 7708992 ("xen/blkback: Seperate the bio allocation and the bio submission") consolidated the pendcnt updates to just a single write, neglecting the fact that the error path relied on it getting set to 1 up front (such that the decrement in __end_block_io_op() would actually drop the count to zero, triggering the necessary cleanup actions). Also remove a misleading and a stale (after said commit) comment.
