block: Fix incorrect alignment offset reporting and update documentation
queue_sector_alignment_offset returned the wrong value which caused partitions to report an incorrect alignment_offset. Since offset alignment calculation is needed several places it has been split into a separate helper function. The topology stacking function has been updated accordingly. Furthermore, comments have been added to clarify how the stacking function works. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* blk_stack_limits - adjust queue_limits for stacked devices

- * @b: the underlying queue limits (bottom)
+ * @t: the stacking driver limits (top device)
+ * @b: the underlying queue limits (bottom, component device)
* @offset: offset to beginning of data within component device
*
* Description:
- * Merges two queue_limit structs. Returns 0 if alignment didn't
- * change. Returns -1 if adding the bottom device caused
- * misalignment.
+ * This function is used by stacking drivers like MD and DM to ensure
+ * that all component devices have compatible block sizes and
+ * alignments. The stacking driver must provide a queue_limits
+ * struct (top) and then iteratively call the stacking function for
+ * all component (bottom) devices. The stacking function will
+ * attempt to combine the values and ensure proper alignment.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 if the top and bottom queue_limits are compatible. The
+ * top device's block sizes and alignment offsets may be adjusted to
+ * ensure alignment with the bottom device. If no compatible sizes
+ * and alignments exist, -1 is returned and the resulting top
+ * queue_limits will have the misaligned flag set to indicate that
+ * the alignment_offset is undefined.
