    block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512 · c295fc05

    The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
    (ae03bf63
    
    ) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
    to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.
    
    But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
    1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
    2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
    specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
    max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS
    
    I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
    to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
    behaviour.
    
    This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
    max_sectors as it was before.
