When a (e.g.) RAID5 array is reshaped to RAID0, the updating
of queue parameters (e.g. max number of sectors per bio) is
done in the wrong place.
It should be part of ->run, but it is actually part of ->takeover.
This means it happens before level_store() calls:
blk_set_stacking_limits(&mddev->queue->limits);
and so it ineffective. This can lead to errors from underlying
devices.
So move all the relevant settings out of create_stripe_zones()
and into raid0_run().
As this can lead to a bug-on it is suitable for any -stable
kernel which supports reshape to RAID0. So 2.6.35 or later.
As the bug has been present for five years there is no urgency,
so no need to rush into -stable.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v2.6.35+ - please delay until after -final release).
