DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
kernel messages:

dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)

when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
another DM device.

Fixes: 7bf7eac8d648 ("dax: Arrange for dax_supported check to span multiple devices")

This function is just a tiny wrapper around blk_stack_limit and has
two callers.  Simplify the stack a bit by open coding it in the two
callers.

Lift the code from device mapper into blk_stack_limits to inherity
the stacking limitations.  This ensures we do the right thing for
all stacked zoned block devices.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Except for pktdvd, the only places setting congested bits are file
systems that allocate their own backing_dev_info structures.  And
pktdvd is a deprecated driver that isn't useful in stack setup
either.  So remove the dead congested_fn stacking infrastructure.

bio based drivers only need to update q-&gt;nr_zones.  Do that manually
instead of overloading blk_revalidate_disk_zones to keep that function
simpler for the next round of changes that will rely even more on the
request based functionality.

<title>dm table: do not allow request-based DM to stack on partitions</title>

<content type='text'>
Partitioned request-based devices cannot be used as underlying devices
for request-based DM because no partition offsets are added to each
incoming request.  As such, until now, stacking on partitioned devices
would _always_ result in data corruption (e.g. wiping the partition
table, writing to other partitions, etc).  Fix this by disallowing
request-based stacking on partitions.

While at it, since all .request_fn support has been removed from block
core, remove legacy dm-table code that differentiated between blk-mq and
.request_fn request-based.
