When the function sb_bread() fails, the return value should
be -EIO, fix it.

Well, in the mount(2) manpage we have:

EINVAL source had an invalid superblock. Or, a remount (MS_REMOUNT) was
attempted, but source was not already mounted on target. Or, a move
(MS_MOVE) was attempted, but source was not a mount point, or was '/'.

And EIO is not documented as possible error for mount(2). Looking at e.g.
ext4 it also returns EINVAL when superblock cannot be read so I guess it is
an expected return value in this case.
