Prefer the physical block size over the logical block size

[nl6720]

On block devices with 4096 byte physical block size and 512 byte logical block size (so called 512e), mkfs.ntfs/mkntfs chooses 512 bytes as the file system sector size.

# lsblk -t /dev/sdc
NAME   ALIGNMENT MIN-IO OPT-IO PHY-SEC LOG-SEC ROTA SCHED RQ-SIZE  RA WSAME
sdc            0   4096      0    4096     512    1 none      256 128    0B

Using Arch Linux's ntfs-3g 2022.10.3-1 package:

# mkntfs -Q /dev/sdc1
Cluster size has been automatically set to 4096 bytes.

The physical block size is the smallest unit a physical storage device can write atomically and it should generally be preferred over the logical block size and many other file system mkfs utilities do so. This means trying BLKPBSZGET before BLKSSZGET.
