UBLKSRV_IO_INTEGRITY_FLAG should be defined as one flag starting from top
bit(bit 62), then you will see it is just fine to check it directly.

But it isn't a big deal to subtract UBLKSRV_IO_BUF_OFFSET or not here, I
will leave it to you.

The check could be zero cost, but better to fail the wrong usage than
returning 0 silently, which may often imply big issue.
