padata: use alignment when calculating the number of worker threads 

For multithreaded jobs the computed chunk size is rounded up by the
caller-specified alignment. However, the number of worker threads to
use is computed using the minimum chunk size without taking alignment
into account. A sufficiently large alignment value can result in too
many worker threads being allocated for the job.
