block: fix mis-synchronisation in blkdev_issue_zeroout()

BZ29402
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402

We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.

The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!

(thread 1)                      (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io()              blkdev_issue_zeroout()
  if(bb) {                      ...
    if (bb->end_io)             ...
      bb->end_io(bio, err);     ...
    atomic_inc(&bb->done);      ...
    ...                         while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
    ...                         (let issued == bb.done)
    ...                         (do the rest of the function)
    ...                         return ret;
    complete(bb->wait);
    ^^^^^^^^
    panic

We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.

Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.
