Some firmware reports NVMe maximum transfer sizes that follow the drive
capability. When those values are very large, the block layer may build
I/O that this driver cannot handle, which can cause a kernel oops.

When an NVMe device is set up, cap how large a single transfer may be
to the smaller of the firmware-reported limit and roughly two mebibytes
with a small margin. If no valid limit is reported, apply the same
upper bound.
