Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that they can be set atomically and all I/O is frozen when changing the flags. Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal (usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the previous size. The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and max_discard_sectors user limits. The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.
