A recent commit skipped dumping the usual "attempt to access beyond end
of device" message if the device size is 0 sectors, as that's a common
pattern for devices that have been hot removed. But while it stopped
that message, it also prevented returning -EIO for that condition.
Reinstate the -EIO return, while retaining the quiet operation for
triggering EOD for a device with 0 sectors.

Hi,
I tested the patch and it *does not* reproduce the original syzkaller
bug [1].
