md: avoid overflow in raid0 calculation with large components



If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit
machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long,

   chunk << chunksize_bits

can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB).  chunk
itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG).

So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes
impossible to hit.
