There is a bug in handling BDRV_REQ_NO_WAIT flag: we still may wait in
wait_serialising_requests() if request is unaligned. And this is
possible for the only user of this flag (preallocate filter) if
underlying file is unaligned to its request_alignment on start.
So, we have to fix preallocate filter to do only aligned preallocate
requests.
Next, we should fix generic block/io.c somehow. Keeping in mind that
preallocate is the only user of BDRV_REQ_NO_WAIT and that we have to
fix its behavior now, it seems more safe to just assert that we never
use BDRV_REQ_NO_WAIT with unaligned requests and add corresponding
comment. Let's do so.
