dm_table_set_restrictions() can set limits->max_write_zeroes_sectors to
0, and it's called after dm_calculate_queue_limits(), which calls
blk_stack_limits(). Just to avoid having the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP
still set while a device's max_write_zeroes_sectors is 0, it seems like
you would want to clear it as well if dm_table_set_restrictions() sets
limits->max_write_zeroes_sectors to 0.
