block: force an unlimited segment size on queues with a virt boundary
We currently fail to update the front/back segment size in the bio when deciding to allow an otherwise gappy segement to a device with a virt boundary. The reason why this did not cause problems is that devices with a virt boundary fundamentally don't use segments as we know it and thus don't care. Make that assumption formal by forcing an unlimited segement size in this case.
