    md faulty: use disk_stack_limits() · 0be1fecd

    fe86cdce block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking drivers
    
    max_sectors defaults to UINT_MAX.  md faulty wasn't using
    disk_stack_limits(), so inherited this large value as well.
    This triggered a bug in XFS when stressed over md_faulty, when
    a very large bio_alloc() failed.
    
    That was on an older kernel, and I can't reproduce exactly the
    same thing upstream, but I think the fix is appropriate in any
    case.
    
    Thanks to Mike Snitzer for pointing out the problem.
