John Garry 64b582ca88 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 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
