[PATCH 1/2] file-posix: fix Linux alignment probing when EIO is returned

Linux dm-crypt returns errno EIO from unaligned O_DIRECT pread(2) calls. Alignment probing fails on dm-crypt devices because the code expects EINVAL. Treating any errno as an "unaligned" indicator would be easy, but breaks commit 22d182e82b4b ("block/raw-posix: fix launching with failed disks").
