[ Upstream commit2ebc8d600f] DRBD requires stable pages because it may read the same bio data multiple times for local disk I/O and network transmission, and in some cases for calculating checksums. The BLK_FEAT_STABLE_WRITES flag is set when the device is first created, but blk_set_stacking_limits() clears it whenever a backing device is attached. In some cases the flag may be inherited from the backing device, but we want it to be enabled at all times. Unconditionally re-enable BLK_FEAT_STABLE_WRITES in drbd_reconsider_queue_parameters() after the queue parameter negotiations. Also, document why we want this flag enabled in the first place.
