block: Read max write zeroes once for __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes()

Browse Source 
As reported in [0], we may get a hang when formatting a XFS FS on a RAID0
drive.

Commit 73a768d5f9 ("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.
