dm: remove EOPNOTSUPP for barriers

If the underlying device doesn't support barriers and dm receives a
barrier, it waits until all requests on that device drain so it no
longer needs to report -EOPNOTSUPP to the caller.

This patch deals with the confusing situation when moving a volume from
one physical device to another triggers an EOPNOTSUPP on a volume that
didn't report it before.
