Description
🐛 Describe the bug
When employing the affine functional operation (in both v1 and v2), it's evident that black borders are introduced around the image, even when the fill value matches the image content. These black margins are observable when using both uint8 and float32 data types, and this phenomenon occurs consistently on both Ubuntu and Mac M1.
Upon comparing the implementation of the 'affine' operation in torchvision with that in Kornia, I am uncertain whether the interpolation issue is limited to the image edges. Notably, when utilizing Kornia, the output appears to be more visually appealing when applied to an image.

Research direction
Start with torchvision.transforms.v2.functional.affine and the imported _get_inverse_affine_matrix in torchvision.transforms.v2.functional._geometry. Run the provided constant-image reproduction for both uint8 and float32 inputs, then compare the edge output with the reported Kornia result. Done means affine no longer introduces black edge artefacts when the fill value matches the image content, with coverage for the affected cases.
