Given DM motivated this change, curious why you didn't send this to dm-devel?

In any case, not sure why you need to reference "resume".  Very few
people will appreciate that detail.

Better to just say: DM device sets QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT after the queue
is registered.

typo: s/resister/register/
But again, best to say:
DM device sets QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT after the queue is registered, ...

Also, an alternative to your patch would be to have DM's
dm_table_set_restrictions() call a blk-throttle function to setup
blk-throttle after it is done setting queue flags?
Saves all other drivers from having to run this 2 stage initialization
code.. just a thought.
