OTL is the preferred size for REQ_TYPE_FS requests as reported by the
device. The intent is to honor that. Your patch clamps the rw_size to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS which is not correct.

We're trying to avoid unnecessary accessor functions for the queue
limits. But I will add a sanity check for the page size. And fix up
scsi_debug.
