If an IO request is build on an alias device without prefix enabled
we try to calculate with zero data from the alias device. This
triggers a BUG statement with fixpoint divide exception.
This case is very unlikely and can only happen if the pathgroup is
lost with an alias device already in use.
Prevent the alias device from being used in this case.
