Subject: [ 024/100] dm: fix limits initialization when there are no data devices

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Christie <michaelc@...wisc.edu>

commit 87eb5b21d92a92ac2da3163039d62df88c2b8422 upstream.

dm_calculate_queue_limits will first reset the provided limits to
defaults using blk_set_stacking_limits; whereby defeating the purpose of
retaining the original live table's limits -- as was intended via commit
3ae706561637331aa578e52bb89ecbba5edcb7a9 ("dm: retain table limits when
swapping to new table with no devices").

Fix this improper limits initialization (in the no data devices case) by
avoiding the call to dm_calculate_queue_limits.

[patch header revised by Mike Snitzer]
