xfs: ensure we capture IO errors correctly
Failed buffer readahead can leave the buffer in the cache marked with an error. Most callers that then issue a subsequent read on the buffer do not zero the b_error field out, and so we may incorectly detect an error during IO completion due to the stale error value left on the buffer. Avoid this problem by zeroing the error before IO submission. This ensures that the only IO errors that are detected those captured from are those captured from bio submission or completion.
