scrub_raid56_parity_stripe() returns the leftover value of
scrub_find_fill_first_stripe() (0 or 1) when it detects unrepaired
sectors in a data stripe.  Scrub callers only treat negative values as
errors, so the unrepaired state is masked as success and P/Q
regeneration is skipped; a device replace can then copy corrupted data.

Return -EIO so the unrepaired sectors are reported and the corrupt
stripe is not treated as healthy.

The masked-success behavior was reproduced 3/3 times: baseline scrub
returned 0 with "finished ... status: 0", left P/Q unregenerated, and a
device replace copied corruption.  With this change scrub returns -EIO
and the replace is canceled; healthy RAID1/RAID5 scrub still succeeds.
