3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 34f2fd8dfe6185b0eaaf7d661281713a6170b077 upstream.
The data type of max_sectors and max_hw_sectors in queue settings are
unsigned int. But these values are passed to __bio_add_page() as an
argument whose data type is unsigned short. In the worst case such as
max_sectors is 0x10000, bio_add_page() can't add a page and IOs can't
proceed.
