Subject: md/raid0: update queue parameter in a safer location.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>

commit 199dc6ed5179251fa6158a461499c24bdd99c836 upstream.

When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of ->run, but it is actually part of ->takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:

	blk_set_stacking_limits(&mddev->queue->limits);

and so it ineffective.  This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.

So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().

As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0.  So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
so no need to rush into -stable.
