[PATCHv11 4/9] block: allow ability to limit partition write hints

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>
When multiple partitions are used, you may want to enforce different
subsets of the available write hints for each partition. Provide a
bitmap attribute of the available write hints, and allow an admin to
write a different mask to set the partition's allowed write hints.

+Description:
+ The mask of allowed write hints. You can limit which hints the
