Subject: sd: Fix rw_max for devices that report an optimal xfer size

From: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

commit 6b7e9cde49691e04314342b7dce90c67ad567fcc upstream.

For historic reasons, io_opt is in bytes and max_sectors in block layer
sectors. This interface inconsistency is error prone and should be
fixed. But for 4.4--4.7 let's make the unit difference explicit via a
wrapper function.
