The __nvme_end_req helper allowed the status to be passed in, making it
easy to override status for unlikley edge-case where the BLK_STS is
!blk_path_error() but should be given nvme_is_path_error() returned
true.
Anyway, I can avoid the need to factor out __nvme_end_req() and just:
nvme_req(req)->status = NVME_SC_HOST_PATH_ERROR;
nvme_end_req(req);
Thanks,
Mike
