These two calls convinced me that ASYNC_TX_PQ_ZERO_{P,Q} need to go.
A 1-source async_pq operation does not make sense.  These should be:

       /* (2) Calculate Q+Qxy */
       lptrs[0] = ptrs[disks-1];
       lptrs[1] = ptrs[failb];
       tx = async_xor(lptrs[0], lptrs, 0, 2, bytes,
                      ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DST|ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK, tx, NULL, NULL);

        /* (3) Calculate P+Pxy */
       lptrs[0] = ptrs[disks-2];
       lptrs[1] = ptrs[faila];
       tx = async_xor(lptrs[0], lptrs, 0, 2, bytes,
                      ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DST|ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK, tx, NULL, NULL);
