Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).
Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.
DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits(). In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0. With commit
69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.
Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
$ dmsetup create node --table "0 100 linear /dev/sde 0"
Before this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
0
After this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size

lcm() was defined to take integer-sized arguments. The supplied
arguments are multiplied, however, causing us to overflow given
sufficiently large input. That in turn led to incorrect optimal I/O
size reporting in some cases (RAID over RAID).
Switch lcm() over to unsigned long similar to gcd() and move the
function from blk-settings.c to lib.
