Tejun Heo e190222d04 libata: bump transfer chunk size if it's odd 
None of the drives I have follows what the standard says about
transfer chunk size.  Of the four SATA and six PATA ATAPI devices
tested, four ignore transfer chunk size completely and the ones which
honor it don't behave according to the spec when it's odd.

According to the spec, transfer chunk size can be odd if the amount of
data to transfer equals or is smaller than the chunk size and the
device can indicate the same odd number and transfer the whole thing
at one go with a pad byte appended.  However, in reality, none of the
drives I have does that.  They all indicate and transfer even number
of bytes one byte shorter than the chunk size first; then indicate and
transfer two bytes, which is clearly out of spec.

In addition to unnecessary second PIO data phase, this also creates a
weird problem when combined with SATA controllers which perform PIO
via DMA.  Some of these controllers use actualy number of bytes
received to update DMA pointer so chunks which are sized 4n + 2 makes
DMA pointer off by two bytes.  This causes data corruption and buffer
overruns.

This patch rounds nbytes up to the nearest even number such that ATAPI
devices don't split data transfer for the last odd byte.  This
shouldn't confuse controllers which depend on transfer chunk size as
devices will report the rounded-up number, actually transfer that much
and padding buffer is there to receive them.
