Commit 882ec4e609c1 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
   chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
   IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
   .iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.

And commit 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).

Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.

Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

Fixes: 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use blk_max_size_offset()")
