The loop driver assumes that if the passed in fd is opened with
O_DIRECT, the caller wants to use direct I/O on the loop device.
However, if the underlying block device has a different block size than
the loop block queue, direct I/O can't be enabled. Instead of requiring
userspace to manually change the blocksize and re-enable direct I/O,
just change the queue block sizes to match, as well as the io_min size.

v2 changes:
- Fixed commit message to say the block size must match the underlying
  block device, not the underlying filesystem.
- Also set physical blocksize and minimal io size correspondingly.

Hi Jens, Ming,

Do you have any thoughts about this patch?

Thanks,
