Subject: [patch] direct-io: propagate -ENOSPC errors

dio_bio_complete turns all errors into -EIO.  This is historical,
since you used to only get 1 bit precision for errors (BIO_UPTODATE).
Now that we get actual error codes, we can return the appropriate
code to userspace.  File systems seem to only propagate either EIO
or ENOSPC, so I've followed suit in this patch.

This fixes an issue where -ENOSPC was being turned into -EIO when
testing dm-thin.
