xfs: swalloc doesn't align allocations properly
When swalloc is specified as a mount option, allocations are
supposed to be aligned to the stripe width rather than the stripe
unit of the underlying filesystem. However, it does not do this.

What the implementation does is round up the allocation size to a
stripe width, hence ensuring that all allocations span a full stripe
width. It does not, however, ensure that that allocation is aligned
to a stripe width, and hence the allocations can span multiple
underlying stripes and so still see RMW cycles for things like
direct IO on MD RAID.

So, if the swalloc mount option is set, change the allocation
alignment in xfs_bmap_btalloc() to use the stripe width rather than
the stripe unit.
