Subject: [RFC v2 14/17] bio: switch to bio_set_status in submit_bio_noacct

In submit_bio_noacct(), call bio_endio() and return directly when
successful.  That way, bio_set_status(bio, status) will only be called
for actual errors and the compiler can optimize out the 'status !=
BLK_STS_OK' check inside bio_set_status().
