`DeltaFileOperations.recursiveListDirs` calls `parallelize` without
specifying the parallelism. Hence, it always uses [the number of
available cores on a
cluster](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/d2e8c1cb60e34a1c7e92374c07d682aa5ca79145/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/SparkContext.scala#L1003).
When a cluster has many cores but `subDirs` is small, it will launch
many empty tasks.

This PR makes a small change to use
`subDirs.length.min(spark.sparkContext.defaultParallelism)` as the
parallelism so that when `subDirs` is smaller than the number of
available cores, it will not launch empty tasks.
