[PATCH v4 02/10] block/io.c: drop assertion on double waiting for request serialisation

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

The comments states, that on misaligned request we should have already
been waiting. But for bdrv_padding_rmw_read, we called
bdrv_mark_request_serialising with align = request_alignment, and now
we serialise with align = cluster_size. So we may have to wait again
with larger alignment.

Note, that the only user of BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING is backup which issues
cluster-aligned requests, so seems the assertion should not fire for
now. But it's wrong anyway.
