Great, thanks for the patch!

This looks correct to me. A non-zero bio->bi_status here means that
FEC must be enabled because otherwise we wouldn't have ended up in
verity_verify_io() in the first place, and returning -EIO when
verity_fec_decode() fails after attempting to correct an I/O error is
consistent with the non-FEC behavior of dm-verity.
