[SCSI] block: Introduce new blk_queue_update_dma_alignment interface



The purpose of this is to allow stacked alignment settings, with the
ultimate queue alignment being set to the largest alignment requirement
in the stack.

The reason for this is so that the SCSI mid-layer can relax the default
alignment requirements (which are basically causing a lot of superfluous
copying to go on in the SG_IO interface) while allowing transports,
devices or HBAs to add stricter limits if they need them.
