this "return early" does not happen.
because almost no driver actually implemented partial completion
notification in the first place, and if some driver should indeed
implement it, it is guaranteed to eventually call us with the the bio
comlpetely done.
finally, you trigger the "io-error" by fault insertion,
which directly calls the endio handler with bi_size == 0.
