We communicate the "max_pages" via sg_tablesize and max_hw_sectors.

iSER communicates (or at least supposed to) sg_tablesize=128 and
max_sectors=1024 to scsi (which sets the block queues attributes), that
should be sufficient for handling all the incoming IO. Unless we didn't
account for the first-page offset and the reminder coming at the last
segment (which results in an extra page). The patch should fix the
problem, however in this particular sg list I don't see the violation
(counted 127 pages)...
