scsi: sd: Align maximum write same blocks to physical block size
Reporting a maximum number of blocks that is not aligned on the device physical size would cause a large write same request to be split into physically unaligned chunks by __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes() and __blkdev_issue_write_same(), even if the caller of these functions took care to align its request to physical sectors. Make sure the maximum reported is aligned to the device physical block size. This is only an optional optimization for regular disks, but this is mandatory to avoid failure of large write same requests directed at sequential write required zones of host-managed ZBC disks.
