libata: set queue DMA alignment to sector size for ATAPI too
ata_pio_sectors() expects buffer for each sector to be contained in a single page; otherwise, it ends up overrunning the first page. This is achieved by setting queue DMA alignment. If sector_size is smaller than PAGE_SIZE and all buffers are sector_size aligned, buffer for each sector is always contained in a single page. This wasn't applied to ATAPI devices but IDENTIFY_PACKET is executed as ATA_PROT_PIO and thus uses ata_pio_sectors(). Newer versions of udev issue IDENTIFY_PACKET with unaligned buffer triggering the problem and causing oops. This patch fixes the problem by setting sdev->sector_size to ATA_SECT_SIZE on ATATPI devices and always setting DMA alignment to sector_size. While at it, add a warning for the unlikely but still possible scenario where sector_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE, in which case the alignment wouldn't be enough.
