dm-stripe: remove minimum stripe size
There is no technical limitation in device mapper that would prevent the
dm-stripe target from using a stripe size smaller than page size.
This patch removes the limit and makes stripe volumes portable across
architectures with different page size.
The patch also makes it reject stripe sizes that do not fit to 32 bits.
(previously the upper bits were truncated)
