Subject: dm: fix missed error code if .end_io isn't implemented by target_type

From: zhendong chen <[email protected]>

commit 5164bece1673cdf04782f8ed3fba70743700f5da upstream.

In bio-based DM's clone_endio(), when target_type doesn't implement
.end_io (e.g. linear) r will be always be initialized 0.  So if a
WRITE SAME bio fails WRITE SAME will not be disabled as intended.

Fix this by initializing r to error, rather than 0, in clone_endio().
