block: Improve physical block alignment of split bios 

Consider the following example:
* The logical block size is 4 KB.
* The physical block size is 8 KB.
* max_sectors equals (16 KB >> 9) sectors.
* A non-aligned 4 KB and an aligned 64 KB bio are merged into a single
  non-aligned 68 KB bio.

The current behavior is to split such a bio into (16 KB + 16 KB + 16 KB
+ 16 KB + 4 KB). The start of none of these five bio's is aligned to a
physical block boundary.

This patch ensures that such a bio is split into four aligned and
one non-aligned bio instead of being split into five non-aligned bios.
This improves performance because most block devices can handle aligned
requests faster than non-aligned requests.

Since the physical block size is larger than or equal to the logical
block size, this patch preserves the guarantee that the returned
value is a multiple of the logical block size.
