[PATCH V3 3/3] nvme-multipath: enable PCI P2PDMA for multipath devices

From: Kiran Kumar Modukuri <kmodukuri at nvidia.com>

NVMe multipath does not expose BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA on the head disk
even when all underlying controllers support it.

Set BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA unconditionally in nvme_mpath_alloc_disk()
alongside the other features.  nvme_update_ns_info_block() already
calls queue_limits_stack_bdev() to stack each path's limits onto the
head disk, which routes through blk_stack_limits().  The core now
clears BLK_FEAT_PCI_P2PDMA automatically if any path (e.g., FC) does
not support it, consistent with how BLK_FEAT_NOWAIT and BLK_FEAT_POLL
are handled.
