The current command submission code uses a sector-based value when considering the maximum number of blocks per command. With a 4k-formatted namespace and a command exceeding max hardware limits, this calculation doesn't split IOs which should be split and fails in the nvme layer. This patch fixes that calculation and enables IO splitting in these circumstances.
