[PATCH v13 44/56] media: core: Report the maximum possible number of buffers for the queue

Use one of the struct v4l2_create_buffers reserved bytes to report
the maximum possible number of buffers for the queue.
V4l2 framework set V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_SET_MAX_BUFS flags in queue
capabilities so userland can know when the field is valid.
