When performing a read-modify-write(RMW) operation, any modification
to a buffered block must cause the entire buffer to be marked dirty.
Marking only a subrange as dirty is incorrect because the underlying
device block size(ubs) defines the minimum read/write granularity. A
lower device can perform I/O only on regions which are fully aligned
and sized to ubs.
This change ensures that write-back operations always occur in full
ubs-sized chunks, matching the intended emulation semantics of the
EBS target.
