Subject[PATCH] mm: fix blkdev size calculation in generic_write_checks
Currently block device size calculated regardless its
bd_block_size. This may result attempt to write outside
block device if i_size not aligned to bdev->bd_block_size
and result in EIO.

#### TEST_CASE_BEGIN
# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 36.7 GB, 36703918080 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4462 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 254 2040223+ 83 Ldinux
/dev/sdc2 255 379 1004062+ 83 Linux
####
#### /dev/sdc2 size not aligned to 4K

#### at this time bd_block_size == 512 so generic_write_check
#### performed correctly
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2 bs=1k count=7 seek=1004058
dd: writing `/dev/sdc2': No space left on device
5+0 records in
4+0 records out

#### this bdev contain ext4fs with blksize = 4K
# mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt/
#### after we mounted this bdev bd_block_size == fsblksize == 4K

#### the same write operation failed with EIO
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2 bs=1k count=7 seek=1004058
dd: writing `/dev/sdc2': Input/output error
3+0 records in
2+0 records out
#### Attempt to write whole fsblock result write access outside
#### blkdevice and cause -EIO (returned by blkdev_get_block)
#### TEST_CASE_END
