This changes the error status of blk_log_writes_open() from -EINVAL to
whatever is returned by bdrv_pread(). I guess this is an improvement
worth to be mentioned in the changelog.

This is converting int64_t to int, which is usually not recommended.
In practice this is probably okay because cur_log_sector is supposed
to be a negative errno (ie. an int) in this case.

Maybe make this clear with a an assert(cur_log_sector >= INT_MIN) ?
