Also before 5ff3f74e145a, you could still have devices that are
perfectly fine with dword aligned dma, so sub-sector vectors  would have
passed the checks and gone through to dm-raid, which would have
miscounted the remaining.

The block layer already handles it, so I think just dispatch it and
check the bi_status is all the stacking drivers need to do.
