selftests: ublk: cap nthreads to kernel's actual nr_hw_queues
dev->nthreads is derived from the user-requested queue count before the
ADD command, but the kernel may reduce nr_hw_queues (capped to
nr_cpu_ids). When the VM has fewer CPUs than requested queues, the
daemon creates more handler threads than there are kernel queues.
In non-batch mode, the extra threads access uninitialized queues
(q_depth=0), submit zero io_uring SQEs, and block forever in
io_cqring_wait. In batch mode, the extra threads cause similar hangs
during device removal.
In both cases, the stuck threads prevent the daemon from closing the
char device, holding the last ublk_device reference and causing
ublk_ctrl_del_dev() to hang in wait_event_interruptible().
Fix by capping dev->nthreads to the kernel-returned nr_hw_queues after
the ADD command completes. per_io_tasks mode is excluded because threads
interleave across all queues, so nthreads > nr_hw_queues is valid.
