[LTP] [PATCH] block: add BLK_FEAT_LBS to check for PAGE_SIZE limit

The commit titled "block/bdev: lift block size restrictions to 64k"
lifted the block layer's max supported block size to 64k inside the
helper blk_validate_block_size() now that we support large folios on
the block layer. However, block drivers have relied on the call for
queue_limits_commit_update() to validate and ensure the logical block
size < PAGE_SIZE.
We should take time to validate each block driver before enabling
support for larger logical block sizes, so that those that didn't
have support stay that way and don't need modifications.
Li Wang reported this as a regression on LTP via:
testcases/kernel/syscalls/ioctl/ioctl_loop06
Which uses the loopback driver to enable larger logical block sizes
first with LOOP_CONFIGURE and then LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE. While
I see no reason why the loopback block driver can't support
larger logical block sizes than PAGE_SIZE, leave this validation
step as a secondary effort for each block driver.
