Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

Changes from v1:
- Add a space after /* and before */.
- Move length alignment check before the "start = p.start >> SECTOR_SHIFT"
- Move check for p.start being aligned together with this length alignment check.
Changes from v2:
- Add the assignment on the first line and merge the two lines into one.
- Use IS_ALIGNED function to check alignment.
