[SRU][F][PATCH 1/1] block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size

From: Min Li <min15.li at samsung.com>

Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

[gjiang: add the checking for BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION since commit fa9156ae597c
("block: refactor blkpg_ioctl") was missed, and also modified due to the missing
commit 5fb889f587fa ("compat_ioctl: block: simplify compat_blkpg_ioctl()")]
