While block drivers do the validation as part of committing them to the
queue, users that use the limit outside of a block device context have
to validate the limits and fill in the calculated values as well.
So far btrfs is the only user of queue limits without a block device,
and it has gotten away with that more or less by accident. But with
commit 559218d43ec9 ("block: pre-calculate max_zone_append_sectors")
this became fatal for setups that have small max zone append size,
as it won't be limited now.
Export blk_validate_limits so that it can be called directly from btrfs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
