btrfs: fix a use-after-free when hitting errors inside btrfs_submit_chunk()

[BUG]
There is an internal report that KASAN is reporting use-after-free, with
the following backtrace:

[CAUSE]
Although I cannot reproduce the error, the report itself is good enough
to pin down the cause.

The call trace is the regular endio workqueue context, but the
free-by-task trace is showing that during btrfs_submit_chunk() we
already hit a critical error, and is calling btrfs_bio_end_io() to error
out. And the original endio function called bio_put() to free the whole
bio.

This means a double freeing thus causing use-after-free, e.g.:

  1. Enter btrfs_submit_bio() with a read bio
    The read bio length is 128K, crossing two 64K stripes.

  2. The first run of btrfs_submit_chunk()

2.1 Call btrfs_map_block(), which returns 64K
2.2 Call btrfs_split_bio()
Now there are two bios, one referring to the first 64K, the other
referring to the second 64K.
2.3 The first half is submitted.

  1. The second run of btrfs_submit_chunk()

3.1 Call btrfs_map_block(), which by somehow failed
Now we call btrfs_bio_end_io() to handle the error

3.2 btrfs_bio_end_io() calls the original endio function
Which is end_bbio_data_read(), and it calls bio_put() for the
original bio.

Now the original bio is freed.
  1. The submitted first 64K bio finished
    Now we call into btrfs_check_read_bio() and tries to advance the bio
    iter.
    But since the original bio (thus its iter) is already freed, we
    trigger the above use-after free.

    And even if the memory is not poisoned/corrupted, we will later call
    the original endio function, causing a double freeing.

[FIX]
Instead of calling btrfs_bio_end_io(), call btrfs_orig_bbio_end_io(),
which has the extra check on split bios and do the pr
