Stefan also pointed out this duplicates the logic from

and a bunch of other places.


Would it be acceptable for blk layer to validate the input
instead of having each driver do it's own thing?
Maybe inside blk_queue_logical_block_size?
I'm pretty sure we want down that before.  Let's just add a helper
just for that check for now as part of this series.  Actually validating
in in blk_queue_logical_block_size seems like a good idea, but returning
errors from that has a long tail.
