If an origin target has no snapshots, o->split_boundary is set to 0. This causes BUG_ON(sectors <= 0) in block/bio.c:bio_split(). Fix this by initializing chunk_size, and in turn split_boundary, to rounddown_pow_of_two(UINT_MAX) -- the largest power of two that fits into "unsigned" type. This is the second version of the patch, it doesn't change "min_not_zero" to "min". During snapshot merging it may be possible that there is a snapshot with snap->store->chunk_size == 0; we must not zero chunk_size in this case. If we zeroed it, infinite loop would happen.
