dm stripe: Fix bounds

[Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>]

From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@us.ibm.com>

The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe 
device be a multiple of the chunk-size. Under certain conditions, this can 
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device. This 
test-case shows one example.

echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
   dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k

This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out

And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100

The patch below will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe 
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped 
device from being created.

This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can 
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a multiple 
of the chunk-size.

The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.
