[PATCH v3 4/7] file-posix: try BLKSECTGET on block devices too, do not round to power of 2

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

bs->sg is only true for character devices, but block devices can also
be used with scsi-block and scsi-generic.  Unfortunately BLKSECTGET
returns bytes in an int for /dev/sgN devices, and sectors in a short
for block devices, so account for that in the code.

The maximum transfer also need not be a power of 2 (for example I have
seen disks with 1280 KiB maximum transfer) so there's no need to pass
the result through pow2floor.

This patch reintroduces the logic that was removed in commit 867eccfed8
("file-posix: Use max transfer length/segment count only for SCSI
passthrough", 2019-07-12).  The removal was motivated by the performance
regression when using a block device's max_transfer with kernel I/O;
the new, separate max_hw_transfer limit avoids reintroducing the same
regression.
