The calculation of the max_transfer atribute of BlockDriverState
makes considerations such as max_segments and transfer_length via
the BLKSECTGET ioctl (if available).
However, bl->max_transfer isn't considered when emulating the INQUIRY
'Block Limit' response to the scsi-hd devices. This leads to situations
where the declared max_sectors from the INQUIRY response is inconsistent
with the block limits, which isn't ideal. It can also be misleading to the
user that sets /sys/block/<dev>/queue/max_sectors_kb to a certain
value, then finds a different value in the guest OS for the same disk.
Following the same logic scsi_read_complete from scsi-generic.c does
when patching the response of the Block Limits VPD back to the guest,
change the max_io_sectors value of the emulated Block Limits VPD
response by considering the blk_get_max_transfer of the related
BlockDriverState. Use MIN_NOT_ZERO to be sure that the minimal
value is chosen.
Given that we're changing max_io_sectors, consider that min_io_sectors
and opt_io_sectors can't be greater than the new calculated value.
