mkfs.gfs2: Don't use i/o limits hints <4K for block size

Some devices report an optimal_io_size less than 4K. Currently mkfs.gfs2
    uses the non-zero value to choose the block size, which is almost
    certainly a bad choice when it's less than 4K. Update choose_blocksize()
    to avoid using device topology hints for the block size choice when
    they're less than the default block size (4K). Test case included.
