[PATCH] nvme: Increase block size variable size to 32-bit

Increase block size variable size to 32-bit unsigned to be able to
support block devices larger than 32k (starting from 64 KiB).

Physical and logical block size already support unsigned 32-bit.

While experimenting and doing code inspection for large block
devices, we found a limitation of a 32 KiB block size due to the bs
variable type. With that limitation and in combination with a large
block device, this results in a kernel BUG when the block layer
attempts to split a block size of 0 bytes.

Increasing the value to 32-bit unsigned, allows to support large block
devices starting from 64 KiB. In addition, this bs variable type
aligns with the queue_limits logical/physical_block_size types.
