scsi: sd: Be consistent about blocks vs. sectors
We have had several bugs due mixing sector and logical block size terminology. In the block layer, a sector is a 512-byte unit regardless of the logical block size of the underlying device. But the term "sector" is still widely used in sd.c when referring to logical block sized units. We previously introduced helper functions such as sectors_to_logical() and logical_to_sectors() to make the distinction clear. Use these to make the code in sd.c consistent wrt. logical blocks and block layer sectors. Use "lba" to describe a logical block address and "nr_blocks" when counting logical blocks. SBC uses "TRANSFER LENGTH" to describe the latter but this term was avoided to prevent confusion with the very similar DMA transfer size (->transfersize) which is counted in bytes.
