[Cluster-devel] [PATCH] mkfs.gfs2: Don't use optimal_io_size when equal to minimum

Some devices report an optimal_io_size of 512 instead of 0 when it's not
larger than the minimum_io_size. Currently mkfs.gfs2 uses the non-zero
value to choose the block size, which is almost certainly not what we
want when it's 512. Update the suitability check for optimal_io_size to
avoid using it when it's the same as minimum_io_size.  The effect is
that we fall back to using the default block size, 4096.
