Subject: [PATCH] block: fix alignment_offset math that assumes io_min is a power-of-2

The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset()
assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a
power-of-2. Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min.

This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing
dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of
1280K. Commit fdfb4c8c1 ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data
block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to
the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

Well that sucks, AND with a mask is considerably cheaper than a MOD...

Yeah, certainly does suck (please note v2 that I just sent). The MODs
shouldn't kill us, these functions aren't called in any real hot path.
A storm at boot maybe.. or SCSI rescan but...

I had it mixed up with the recent blk_max_size_offset() - you are right,
this is not in a hot path. For that case, I don't really care, it's fine.

Is v2 runtime tested?

Yes.

Here is the DM stack for an lvm created dm-thin-pool (dm-5).
