[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm table: clear add_random unless all devices have it set

The QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM specifies if queue IO timings contribute
to random pool.

For bio based target is this flag always 0 because target
has no real queue.

For request-based device was this flag always set to 1 (default).

Set it according to flags on underlying devices (if there is at least
one device which should not contribute, set flag to zero).
If device is not suitable (fast SSD storage) for collecting entropy,
request base queue stacked over it will not be either.

Because checking logic is exactly same as for rotational flag,
create one common function which take iteration function
as parameter.
