This needs to use min() since max_provision_sectors also serves to
indicate if the device supports REQ_OP_PROVISION.  Otherwise, if I set
max_provision_sectors to 0 on a dm thin-pool the blk_stack_limits()
will ignore my having set it to 0 (to disable) and it'll remain as
UINT_MAX (thanks to blk_set_default_limits).
