Subject[PATCH] loop: zero fill bio instead of return -EIO for partial read
commit 8268f5a7415d914fc855a86aa2284ac819dc6b2e trying to fix the loop device
partial read information leak problem. But it changed the semantics of read
behavior. When we read beyond the end of the device we should get 0 bytes,
which is normal behavior, we should not just return -EIO

Instead of return -EIO, zero out the bio to avoid information leak in case of
partail read.
