Subject: [PATCH] mkfs: avoid divide-by-zero when hardware reports optimal i/o
 size as 0
References: bsc#1089777
Patch-mainline: v4.18.0-rc1
Git-commit: 99a3f52e337d9c785315e64a599755bc6f7b2118

Commit 051b4e37f5e (mkfs: factor AG alignment) factored out the
AG alignment code into a separate function.  It got rid of
redundant checks for dswidth != 0 since calc_stripe_factors was
supposed to guarantee that if dsunit is non-zero dswidth will be
as well.  Unfortunately, there's hardware out there that reports its
optimal i/o size as larger than the maximum i/o size, which the kernel
treats as broken and zeros out the optimal i/o size.

To resolve this we can check the topology before consuming it, and
ignore the bad stripe geometry.
