[ Upstream commit 9a9525de865410047fa962867b4fcd33943b206f ]
null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O.
Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.
