[ Upstream commit9a9525de86] null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O. Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
