Add a max_pages_per_req sysfs paramater to limit the maximum
read/write request size. It can be changed to arbitrary number
between 32 and the nr_pages equivalent to pipe_max_size, and the
32 pages are set by default.
The sysfs parameter control is required, as follows.
* The libfuse should change the current MIN_BUFSIZE limitation
according to the current maximum request size in FUSE. If not,
the libfuse must always set MIN_BUFSIZE to the maximum request
limit (= [nr_pages (equivalent to pipe_max_size) * 4KB + 0x1000]),
which leads to waste of memory.
* It is easy to find and set the paramter to the optimized value
in order to improve the read/write throughput, since the
maximum request limit does not always provides the highest
throughput.
So, it is necessary to get and set the maximum size from userspace.
Existing FUSE mounts must be remounted for this change to take
effect.
