These code changes do not introduce a functional change. But bio_add_page() will never attempt to build up a bio larger than queue_max_sectors(). Similarly, bio_get_nr_vecs() is also bound by queue_max_sectors(). Therefore, there is no point in allowing dm_merge_bvec() to answer "how many sectors can a bio have at this offset?" with anything larger than queue_max_sectors(). Using queue_max_sectors() rather than BIO_MAX_SECTORS serves to more accurately convey the limits that are being imposed. Also, use unlikely() to clarify the fact that the defensive code in dm_merge_bvec() relative to max_size going negative shouldn't ever happen -- if it does happen there is a bug in the block layer for requesting larger than dm_merge_bvec()'s initial response for a given offset. Also, update a comment in dm_merge_bvec() relative to max_hw_sectors_kb. And fix empty newline whitespace.
