[PATCH v2] Do not require atomic writes to be power of 2 sized and aligned on length boundary

[Vitaliy Filippov <vitalifster@gmail.com>]

It contradicts NVMe specification where alignment is only required when atomic
write boundary (NABSPF/NABO) is set and highly limits usage of NVMe atomic writes
