Boaz pointed out that the current sg table code will bug in the SCSI
index function because it assumes a larger sized allocator that SCSI
possesses. This patch fixes the issue.

Subject: SG: work with the SCSI fixed maximum allocations
SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS,
currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something
tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the
chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum
allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the
maximum SCSI allocation size.
