block: Fix overrun in lcm() and move it to lib

lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments.  The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input.  That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases (RAID over RAID).

Switch lcm() over to unsigned long similar to gcd() and move the
function from blk-settings.c to lib.
