Subject: [PATCH 3/5] f2fs: fix return values from validate superblock

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@...sung.com>

validate super block is not returning with proper values.
When failure from sb_bread it should reflect there is an EIO otherwise
it should return of EINVAL.
Returning, '1' is not conveying proper message as the return type.
