    dm verity: skip redundant verity_handle_err() on I/O errors
    
    [ Upstream commit 2c0468e054c0adb660ac055fc396622ec7235df9 ]
    
    Without FEC, dm-verity won't call verity_handle_err() when I/O fails,
    but with FEC enabled, it currently does even if an I/O error has
    occurred.
    
    If there is an I/O error and FEC correction fails, return the error
    instead of calling verity_handle_err() again.
