I would suggest this:

@@ -1114,8 +1140,7 @@ xfs_buf_bio_end_io(
  	unsigned int		blocksize = bp->b_target->bt_bsize;
  	struct bio_vec		*bvec = bio->bi_io_vec + bio->bi_vcnt - 1;

-	if (!test_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags))
-		bp->b_error = EIO;
+	xfs_buf_ioerror(bp, -error);

  	do {
  		struct page	*page = bvec->bv_page;

The BIO_UPTODATE checks have already been done before calling this function
and error has been set appropriately so we can just use it.
