Christoph Böhmwalder 2ebc8d600f drbd: always set BLK_FEAT_STABLE_WRITES
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.

Fixes: 1a02f3a73f ("block: move the stable_writes flag to queue_limits")
