See below clarification. I was wondering whether the way you were going to
propose for nvme_end_sync_rq() would establish new convention for other
blk_execute_rq_nowait() completion handlers implementation.

The question was how to let nvme_end_sync_rq() propagate the blk_status_t
error to the ret for __nvme_submit_sync_cmd(). That's part of the problem
here: __nvme_submit_sync_cmd() may return success for a command that
failed submission.
