Yes, they probably should be in the ns_head.

.. I also don't think this would even be safe as-is as we dont hold
a reference to the ns after dropping the lock.

lba_ds is a bit of an odd name.  And I also don't think we even need
this, because it really is just a weird enconding for the logical block
size already exposed by the block layer.

I'd probably spell out metadata_size, or probably even better
metadata_bytes to match the unit postfixes elsewhere in the block code.

This is just the normal size of the block device we already export.
