Use mm_huge_zero_folio in __blkdev_issue_zero_pages(). Fallback to
ZERO_PAGE if mm_huge_zero_folio is not available.
On systems that allocates mm_huge_zero_folio, we will end up sending larger
bvecs instead of multiple small ones.
Noticed a 4% increase in performance on a commercial NVMe SSD which does
not support OP_WRITE_ZEROES. The device's MDTS was 128K. The performance
gains might be bigger if the device supports bigger MDTS.
