Liu Bo 99c4e3b96c Btrfs: fix unexpected result when dio reading corrupted blocks
commit 4246a0b63b ("block: add a bi_error field to struct bio")
changed the logic of how dio read endio reports errors.

For single stripe dio read, %bio->bi_status reflects the error before
verifying checksum, and now we're updating it when data block matches
with its checksum, while in the mismatching case, %bio->bi_status is
not updated to relfect that.

When some blocks in a file have been corrupted on disk, reading such a
file ends up with

1) checksum errors are reported in kernel log
2) read(2) returns successfully with some content being 0x01.

In order to fix it, we need to report its checksum mismatch error to
the upper layer (dio layer in this case) as well.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
