From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy <vsementsov@virtuozzo.com>

Serialized writes should be used in copy-on-write of backup(sync=none)
for image fleecing scheme.

We need to change an assert in bdrv_aligned_pwritev, added in
28de2dcd88de. The assert may fail now, because call to
wait_serialising_requests here may become first call to it for this
request with serializing flag set. It occurs if the request is aligned
(otherwise, we should already set serializing flag before calling
bdrv_aligned_pwritev and correspondingly waited for all intersecting
requests). However, for aligned requests, we should not care about
outdating of previously read data, as there no such data. Therefore,
let's just update an assert to not care about aligned requests.
