nit: This function is doing a bit more than validating, as the function 
name suggests

The WARN_ON_ONCE usage is odd, as it will only ever WARN once for a 
specific q, while other queues associated with other drivers may have 
the same limit issue. But I suppose if one issue is fixed, then the 
other will make itself known...

this is duplicating what blk_alloc_queue() does

It ain't so nice that the code for queue_limits_start_update() and 
queue_limits_commit_update() pair are in separate files.
