dm thin: fix stacking of geometry limits
Do not blindly override the queue limits (specifically io_min and io_opt). Allow traditional stacking of these limits if io_opt is a factor of the thin-pool's data block size. Without this patch mkfs.xfs does not recognize the thin device's provided limits as a useful geometry (e.g. raid) so these hints are ignored. This was due to setting io_min to a useless value.
