[PATCH v6 08/28] block: Fake max open zones limit when there is no limit

For a zoned block device that has no limit on the number of open zones
and no limit on the number of active zones, the zone write plug mempool
is created with a size of 128 zone write plugs. For such case, set the
device max_open_zones queue limit to this value to indicate to the user
the potential performance penalty that may happen when writing
simultaneously to more zones than the mempool size.
