block: Read max write zeroes once for __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes()
As reported in [0], we may get a hang when formatting a XFS FS on a RAID0 drive. Commit 73a768d5 ("block: factor out a blk_write_zeroes_limit helper") changed __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes() to read the max write zeroes value in the loop. This is not safe as max write zeroes may change in value. Specifically for the case of [0], the value goes to 0, and we get an infinite loop. Lift the limit reading out of the loop.
