dax: fix O_DIRECT I/O to the last block of a blockdev
commit bbab37dd (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs. That utility sets the block size of the device to the logical block size using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read from the last sector of the device. This results in the dax_io code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end of the device. The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace. The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling get_block. Thanks to willy for simplifying my original patch.
