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

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

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer at redhat.com>

commit d82ae52e68892338068e7559a0c0657193341ce4 upstream.

Without this patch all DM devices will default to BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE
(65536) even if the underlying device(s) have a larger value -- this is
due to blk_stack_limits() using min_not_zero() when stacking the
max_segment_size limit.
