[SCSI] sg: cap reserved_size values at max_sectors
This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and
SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at
the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit
cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length,
fixing Bugzilla #7026.
The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no
reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it
would be impossible to use the extra space.
The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly,
and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as
possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors.
Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices
don't have a reserved buffer.
Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a
uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for
any raw SCSI transport.
