Series xfstests: update verity tests for non-4K block and page size | expand

In order to maximize the chance that the verity tests can actually be
run, FSV_BLOCK_SIZE (the default Merkle tree size for the verity tests)
needs to be min(fs_block_size, page_size), not simply page_size.  The
only reason that page_size was okay before was because the kernel only
supported merkle_tree_block_size == fs_block_size == page_size anyway.
But that is changing.
