block: introduce BLK_STS_OFFLINE
Currently, drivers reports BLK_STS_IOERR for devices that are not full
online or being removed. This behavior could cause confusion for users,
as they are not really I/O errors from the device.
Solve this issue with a new state BLK_STS_OFFLINE, which reports "device
offline error" in dmesg instead of "I/O error".
EIO is intentionally kept to not change user visible return value.
