Currently if dm_mod.use_blk_mq=Y (or a DM-multipath table is loaded with
queue_mode=mq) and all underlying devices are not blk-mq, DM core will
fail with the error:
  "table load rejected: all devices are not blk-mq request-stackable"

This all-blk-mq-or-nothing approach is too cut-throat because it
prevents access to data stored on what could have been a previously
working multipath setup (e.g. if user decides to try dm_mod.use_blk_mq=Y
or queue_mode=mq only to find their underlying devices aren't blk-mq).

This restriction, and others like not being able to stack a top-level
blk-mq request-queue ontop of old .request_fn device(s), can be removed
thanks to commit eb8db831be ("dm: always defer request allocation to the
owner of the request_queue").

Now that request-based DM will always rely on the target (multipath) to
call blk_get_request() to create a clone request it is possible to
support all 4 permutations of stacking old .request_fn and blk-mq
request_queues.

Depends-on: eb8db831be ("dm: always defer request allocation to the owner of the request_queue")
