I worry that nilfs_end_bio_write() is called asynchronously. And, as I
understand, the BIO_EOPNOTSUPP flag is set during nilfs_end_bio_write()
call. It means for me that sometimes segbuf->sb_nbio will be not
incremented in nilfs_segbuf_submit_bio() but sometimes this field can be
incremented and for BIO_EOPNOTSUPP case.

I think that it is dangerous to return without complete() call because
of asynchronous nature of nilfs_end_bio_write() call.
What do you think?
