[PATCH v4] nvme: make sure ns head inherits underlying device limits

[Sagi Grimberg]

Whenever we update ns_head info, we need to make sure it is still
compatible with all underlying backing devices because although nvme
multipath doesn't have any explicit use of these limits, other devices
can still be stacked on top of it which may rely on the underlying limits.
Start with unlimited stacking limits, and every info update iterate over
siblings and adjust queue limits.

Changes from v3:
- move default stacking limits setting to multipath request queue creation
- apply stack limits adjustment only for the head disk (multipath disk
  node)

Changes from v2:
- fixed missing ifdef config (multipathing)

Changes from v1:
- fix change log with better reasoning
