linux-aio: Allow reads beyond the end of growable images

This is the linux-aio version of commits 22afa7b5 (raw-posix, synchronous) and
ba1d1afd (posix-aio-compat). Reads now produce zeros after the end of file
instead of failing or resulting in short reads, making linux-aio compatible
with the behaviour of synchronous raw-posix requests and posix-aio-compat.

The problem can be reproduced like this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.raw bs=1 count=1234
./qemu-io -k -n -g -c 'read -p 1024 512' /tmp/test.raw

Previously, the result of this was 'read failed: Invalid argument', now the
read completes successfully.
