[PATCH v6 4/6] scsi: sd: Allow max_sectors be capped at DMA optimal size limit

Streaming DMA mappings may be considerably slower when mappings go through
an IOMMU and the total mapping length is somewhat long. This is because the
IOMMU IOVA code allocates and free an IOVA for each mapping, which may
affect performance.

New member Scsi_Host.opt_sectors is added, which is the optimal host
max_sectors, and use this value to cap the request queue max_sectors when
set.

It could be considered to have request queues io_opt value initially
set at Scsi_Host.opt_sectors in __scsi_init_queue(), but that is not
really the purpose of io_opt.

Finally, even though Scsi_Host.opt_sectors value should never be greater
than the request queue max_hw_sectors value, continue to limit to this
value for safety.
