As is done in zram_rw_page, pmem_rw_page, and btt_rw_page, don't
call page_endio in the error case since do_mpage_readpage and
__mpage_writepage will resubmit on error. Calling page_endio in the
error case leads to double completion.

Noticed this while looking at unrelated brd code...
And the real question would be:  where would we see any real life impact
of just removing brd_rw_page?
I've got patches ready that remove rw_page from brd, btt and pmem.  I'll send
out once I'm done regression testing.
