I honestly don't see the problem.  We have to assign the status
conditionally anyway so we don't overwrite an error with a subsequent
success.

So this?

        if (ctx.bio) {
                submit_bio(ctx.bio);
                wait_for_completion(&ctx.done);
                if (ret < 0)
                        goto err;
                ret = blk_status_to_errno(ctx.status);
        }

        if (ret < 0)
                goto err;
        return AOP_UPDATED_PAGE;
err:
        unlock_page(page);
        return ret;
