[Devel] [PATCH VZ10 5/7] drivers/vhost/blk: do not complete requests with failed status write

Given that we failed to write into status memory, it's content is
undefined. So completing the request is kind of sketchy.
Just do like vhost-net and vhost-scsi and do not report this
request completion.
Do not forget to properly forget the request though.
