This series introduces atomic write support for software RAID 0/1/10.

The main changes are to ensure that we can calculate the stacked device
request_queue limits appropriately for atomic writes. Fundamentally, if
some bottom does not support atomic writes, then atomic writes are not
supported for the top device. Furthermore, the atomic writes limits are
the lowest common supported limits from all bottom devices.

Flag BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES_STACKED is introduced to enable atomic writes
for stacked devices selectively. This ensures that we can analyze and test
atomic writes support per individual md/dm personality (prior to
enabling).

Based on bio_split() rework at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20241028152730.3377030-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com/

Differences to RFC:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20240903150748.2179966-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com/
- Add support for RAID 1/10
- Add sanity checks for atomic write limits
- Use BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES_STACKED, rather than BLK_FEAT_ATOMIC_WRITES
- Drop patch issue of truncating atomic writes
 - will send separately
