All filesystems will already check the max and min value of their block size during their initialization. __getblk_slow() is a very low-level function to have these checks. Remove them and only check for logical block size alignment. As this check with logical block size alignment might never trigger, add WARN_ON_ONCE() to the check. As WARN_ON_ONCE() will already print the stack, remove the call to dump_stack().
