This still offers all hints to all partitions by default, which still
breaks all use cases where you have actual users of the stream separation
on multiple paritions.

Please assign either all resources to the first partition and none to
the others (probably the easiest and useful for the most common use
case) or split it evenly.

Note that the bdev_max_streams value also needs to be adjusted to only
return the number of streams actually available to a partition.
