block: Cache total_sectors to reduce bdrv_getlength calls

The BlockDriver bdrv_getlength function is called from the I/O code path
when checking that the request falls within the device.  Unfortunately
this involves an lseek system call in the raw protocol; every read or
write request will incur this lseek cost.

Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> identified this issue and its
latency overhead.  This patch caches device length in the existing
total_sectors variable so lseek calls can be avoided for fixed size
devices.

Growable devices fall back to the full bdrv_getlength code path because
I have not added logic to detect extending the size of the device in a
write.
