I don't think a non-chained bio without and end_io handler can work.
Hmm. Is it because in the case of non-chained bio, zram driver owns the bio,
and it is the responsibility of the driver to call bio_put in the end_io handler?
This !parent case seems to come from writeback_store, and as far as
I can tell is broken already in the current code as it just fires
off an async read without ever waiting for it, using an on-stack bio
just to make things complicated.

The bvec reading code in zram is a mess, but I have an idea how
to clean it up with a little series that should also help with
this issue.
Sounds good.

As a part of this series, should I just have an end_io which has a
call to bio_put then?
