commit 596f5aad2a704b72934e5abec1b1b4114c16f45b upstream.

There may be lots of pending requests so that the buffer of PAGE_SIZE
can't hold them at all.

One typical example is scsi-mq, the queue depth(.can_queue) of
scsi_host and blk-mq is quite big but scsi_device's queue_depth
is a bit small(.cmd_per_lun), then it is quite easy to have lots
of pending requests in hw queue.

This patch fixes the following warning and the related memory
destruction.
