Xie Yongji 5a0735b0bc virtio-blk: Use blk_validate_block_size() to validate block size
commit 57a13a5b81 upstream.

The block layer can't support a block size larger than
page size yet. And a block size that's too small or
not a power of two won't work either. If a misconfigured
device presents an invalid block size in configuration space,
it will result in the kernel crash something like below:

[  506.154324] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

So let's use a block layer helper to validate the block size.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
