[PATCH v2 3/4] block: factor out path limit stacking

Some queue limits are path limits: every queue that can execute an I/O
must support them, and they do not depend on start, the first data sector
used in a bottom device.

This includes BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT, BLK_FEAT_POLL, BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA,
max_hw_sectors, max_dev_sectors, seg_boundary_mask, virt_boundary_mask,
max_segments, max_integrity_segments, max_segment_size and dma_alignment.

Move these path limits into a static blk_stack_path_limits() helper and
call it from blk_stack_limits(). Keep topology, discard alignment, atomic
writes and other operation and resource limits in blk_stack_limits() where
the caller context is still available.

There is no behavior change.
