Written can be negative here after blkdev_direct_IO()

And we'll then use it here on iov_iter_revert() and this can crash on
with some values. For example this can crash on a 4k write attempt
on a 32k drive when experimenting wit large block sizes.

Although I fixed it with an early check on this routine
with:

if (count < bdev_logical_block_size(bdev))
	return -EINVAL; 

I think this can just be fixed by also using the alignment
check earier here:

if (blkdev_dio_unaligned(bdev, pos, iter))                               
	return -EINVAL;
