Allow BATCH operations to be submitted and the capability to be
exposed for DSA version 2 (or later) devices.

DSA version 2 devices allow safe submission of BATCH operations.

Maybe folder the DEVICE_VERSION_1 check into user_submission_safe variable?

This way patch is a bit smaller, a bit faster in run-time,  and easier to be extend in case there are other restriction changes in the future?
