[PATCH] block: properly stack underlying max_segment_size to DM device

[PATCH] block: properly stack underlying max_segment_size to DM device

[Mike Snitzer]

Without this patch all DM devices will default to BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE
(65536) even if the underlying device(s) have a larger value -- this is
due to blk_stack_limits() using min_not_zero() when stacking the
max_segment_size limit.

# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/max_segment_size
1073741824

# cat /sys/block/dm-0/queue/max_segment_size
before patch:
65536

after patch:
1073741824

Thanks, applied for 3.13.
