John Garry fe3d508ba9 block: Validate logical block size in blk_validate_limits()
Some drivers validate that their own logical block size. It is no harm to
always do this, so validate in blk_validate_limits().

This allows us to remove the validation in most of those drivers.

Add a comment to blk_validate_block_size() to inform users that self-
validation of LBS is usually unnecessary.

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 reStructuredText 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.
