Not sure why this commit elevated to stable@ picking it up, please
explain.

But you cannot take this commit standalone. These commits are prereqs:

22ada802ede8 block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors
07d098e6bbad block: allow 'chunk_sectors' to be non-power-of-2
882ec4e609c1 dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account for target-specific splitting

This goes for all stable@ trees you AUTOSEL'd commit 5091cdec56f for.
