Subject: blk: use correct sectors limitation for discard request

max_discard_sectors doesn't equal to max_sectors/max_hw_sectors. Without 
this,
discard request merge might be ignored.

In other patch you are making discard request non-mergeable. So what's
the purpose of this patch.

Thanks

we will support discard merge. Just to make sure it doesn't slip away.
