UAS: fix alignment of scatter/gather segments

usb-storage: Set virt_boundary_mask to avoid SG overflows

We are not as likely to be vulnerable as storage, as it is unlikelier
that UAS is run over a controller without native support for SG,
but the issue exists.
The issue has been existing since the inception of the driver.

* USB has unusual DMA-alignment requirements: Although the
* starting address of each scatter-gather element doesn't matter,
* the length of each element except the last must be divisible
* by the Bulk maxpacket value. There's currently no way to
* express this by block-layer constraints, so we'll cop out
* and simply require addresses to be aligned at 512-byte
* boundaries. This is okay since most block I/O involves
* hardware sectors that are multiples of 512 bytes in length,
* and since host controllers up through USB 2.0 have maxpacket
* values no larger than 512.
* We have two requirements here. We must satisfy the requirements
* of the physical HC and the demands of the protocol, as we
* definitely want no additional memory allocation in this path
* ruling out using bounce buffers.
*
* But it doesn't suffice for Wireless USB, where Bulk maxpacket
* values can be as large as 2048. To make that work properly
* will require changes to the block layer.
* For a transmission on USB to continue we must never send
* a package that is smaller than maxpacket. Hence the length of each
* scatterlist element except the last must be divisible by the
* Bulk maxpacket value.
* If the HC does not ensure that through SG,
* the upper layer must do that. We must assume nothing
* about the capabilities off the HC, so we use the most
* pessimistic requirement.
