null_blk: add option for managing virtual boundary

This will enable changing the virtual boundary of null blk devices. For
now, null blk devices didn't have any restriction on the scatter/gather
elements received from the block layer. Add a module parameter and a
configfs option that will control the virtual boundary. This will
enable testing the efficiency of the block layer bounce buffer in case
a suitable application will send discontiguous IO to the given device.

Initial testing with patched FIO showed the following results (64 jobs,
128 iodepth, 1 nullb device):
IO size      READ (virt=false)   READ (virt=true)   Write (virt=false)  Write (virt=true)
