Something in this patch is causing qemu-iotests 77 to infloop; we may
decide it is just easier to drop this patch rather than find all the
places where the request_alignment must be preserved across what
otherwise zeroes out limits.

Or put another way, it looks like I missed another case where moving the
scope of the variable can impact who is expecting the value to remain
unchanged across certain operations.
