[RFC PATCH v1 1/2] nvme: factor namespace-head queue-limit update

Move the namespace head queue-limit update out of nvme_update_ns_info().
The new helper keeps the existing queue_limits_stack_bdev() based behavior
intact, including the current zoned resource handling, write-stream
assignment, integrity setup, capacity update, readonly update, and path
revalidation.

This is a preparatory refactor for replacing the generic stacked-device
limit update in the next patch.
