If the file is exactly of the length given then seek will work, and read
will not set errno but return a length of 0 bytes.  So
SlruPhysicalReadPage sets SLRU_READ_FAILED and then in pg11 the %m in
SlruReportIOError expands to "Success".

The code in master is completely different (it uses pg_pread rather than
seek + read): it does test for errno and reports accordingly.

So, nothing to do here.
