Subject: [PATCH 4.14 011/284] block: Add a helper to validate the block size

From: Xie Yongji <xieyongji@...edance.com>

commit 570b1cac477643cbf01a45fa5d018430a1fddbce upstream.

There are some duplicated codes to validate the block
size in block drivers. This limitation actually comes
from block layer, so this patch tries to add a new block
layer helper for that.
