Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] block: sanitize chunk_sectors for atomic write limits

Currently we just ensure that a non-zero value in chunk_sectors aligns
with any atomic write boundary, as the blk boundary functionality uses
both these values.

However it is also improper to have atomic write unit max > chunk_sectors
(for non-zero chunk_sectors), as this would lead to splitting of atomic
write bios (which is disallowed).

Sanitize atomic write unit max against chunk_sectors to avoid any
potential problems.

Fixes: d00eea91deaf3 ("block: Add extra checks in blk_validate_atomic_write_limits()")
