Reading past end of file returns EOF for aligned reads but -EINVAL for

it return EOF(0).
it can be verified by a read loop on a file that does a partial read
before EOF (A file that doesn't end at an aligned address). The
following code fails on an unaligned file on f2fs, but not on
btrfs, ext4, and xfs.
while (done < total) {
ssize_t delta = pread(fd, buf + done, total - done, off + done);
if (!delta)
break;

}
It is arguable whether filesystems should actually return EOF or
-EINVAL, but since iomap filesystems support it, and so does the
original DIO code, it seems reasonable to consolidate on that.
