nvme-pci: clamp max_hw_sectors based on DMA optimized limitation
[ Upstream commit 3710e2b056cb92ad816e4d79fa54a6a5b6ad8cbd ]
When running the fio test on a 448-core AMD server + a NVME disk,
a soft lockup or a hard lockup call trace is shown:
[soft lockup]

Obvisouly, fq_flush_timeout spends over 20 seconds. Here is ftrace log:

Most of cores are under lock contention for acquiring iova_rbtree_lock due
to the iova flush queue mechanism.

ftrace shows fq_ring_free spends over 10 seconds [1]. Again, most of
cores are under lock contention for acquiring iova_rbtree_lock due
to the iova flush queue mechanism.
[Root Cause]
The root cause is that the max_hw_sectors_kb of nvme disk (mdts=10)
is 4096kb, which streaming DMA mappings cannot benefit from the
scalable IOVA mechanism introduced by the commit 9257b4a206fc
("iommu/iova: introduce per-cpu caching to iova allocation") if
the length is greater than 128kb.
To fix the lock contention issue, clamp max_hw_sectors based on
DMA optimized limitation in order to leverage scalable IOVA mechanism.
Note: The issue does not happen with another NVME disk (mdts = 5
and max_hw_sectors_kb = 128)
