block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits

Browse Source 
Commit 4f258a4634 ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests")
had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer
code. This caused problems for some SMR drives.

Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing
infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with
device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller.

 - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the
   ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request.

 - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into
   account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs.

 - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer
   values for later processing.

 - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the
   MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value
   is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH
   field size.

 - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits
   VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer
   size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

 - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed.
