[PATCH] minix: return -EIO when superblock read fails

[Vivek BalachandharTN]

When minix_fill_super() fails to read the on-disk superblock, it prints
"MINIX-fs: unable to read superblock" but still returns -EINVAL. This
is misleading for callers, since the failure is due to an I/O error
rather than an invalid superblock format or mount option.

Return -EIO in this case so that the errno better reflects the actual
error condition and allows userspace to distinguish I/O failures from
format or parameter errors.
