OK. No problem. It might be more readable.

I think removing of UINT_MAX setting in blk_stack_limits() might be good.
Because default queue limits for stacking device will be set in
blk_set_stacking_limits(), and blk_set_default_limits() will be called
automatically. So setting of UINT_MAX in blk_stack_limits() is not needed.
And setting in blk_stack_limits() can overwrite bio_max_bytes as a default
after stacking driver set to proper bio_max_bytes value.
