rbd: bump queue_max_segments
The default queue_limits::max_segments value (BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS = 128)
unnecessarily limits bio sizes to 512k (assuming 4k pages). rbd, being
a virtual block device, doesn't have any restrictions on the number of
physical segments, so bump max_segments to max_hw_sectors, in theory
allowing a sector per segment (although the only case this matters that
I can think of is some readv/writev style thing). In practice this is
going to give us 1M bios - the number of segments in a bio is limited
in bio_get_nr_vecs() by BIO_MAX_PAGES = 256.
Note that this doesn't result in any improvement on a typical direct
sequential test. This is because on a box with a not too badly
fragmented memory the default BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS is enough to see nice
rbd object size sized requests. The only difference is the size of
bios being merged - 512k vs 1M for something like
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd0 oflag=direct bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE
$ dd if=/dev/rbd0 iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE
