This is to ensure that writes are aligned properly for logging writes
to the virtual block device. This is important because the
dm-log-writes log format has a granularity of one sector for both the
offset and the size of each write. By using the logical sector size
for alignment, the log records the writes more faithfully for those
devices that have a non-512 logical sector size.

Note that even with this patch, blklogwrites still uses
BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE for logging. This will change in a subsequent patch
which will introduce support for non-512 sector sizes.
