dm writecache: write at least 4k when committing

commit 867de40c4c23e6d7f89f9ce4272a5d1b1484c122 upstream.

SSDs perform badly with sub-4k writes (because they perfrorm
read-modify-write internally), so make sure writecache writes at least
4k when committing.

Fixes: 991bd8d7bc78 ("dm writecache: commit just one block, not a full page")
