        /*
         * if failfast is set on a request, override number of sectors
         * and complete the whole request right now
         */
        if (blk_noretry_request(rq) && error <= 0)
                nr_bytes = blk_rq_sectors(rq) << 9;

It is a historical leftover from the days that we did partial request
completions.  Please notice that the patch doesn't affect this chunk.
