You don't.  You get the stacked value as input and then simply decide
if you want to take it or override it.  The easiest way to do the
latter is to just stash it away in a local variable before calling
queue_limits_stack_bdev and then reapplying it afterwards.

I don't see how the code in this series could handle that either.
