xfs: ignore HW which cannot atomic write a single block
Currently only HW which can write at least 1x block is supported.
For supporting atomic writes > 1x block, a CoW-based method will also be
used and this will not be resticted to using HW which can write >= 1x
block.
However for deciding if HW-based atomic writes can be used, we need to
start adding checks for write length < HW min, which complicates the
code. Indeed, a statx field similar to unit_max_opt should also be
added for this minimum, which is undesirable.
HW which can only write > 1x blocks would be uncommon and quite weird,
so let's just not support it.
