	In case reading of block 0 during open() fails, it is not the right thing to let open() succeed. Fix this by introducing FD_OPEN_SHOULD_FAIL_BIT flag, and setting it in case the bio callback encounters an error while trying to read block 0. As a bonus, this works around certain broken userspace (blkid), which is not able to properly handle read()s returning IO errors. Hence be nice to those, and bail out during open() already; if block 0 is not readable, read()s are not going to provide any meaningful data anyway. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
