Subject: [PATCH 120/135] block: fix blk_rq_get_max_sectors for driver private
requests
[ Upstream commit f21018427cb007a0894c36ad702990ab639cbbb4 ]
Driver private request types should not get the artifical cap for the
FS requests. This is important to use the full device capabilities
for internal command or NVMe pass through commands.

Updated by me to use an explicit check for the one command type that
does support extended checking, instead of relying on the ordering
of the enum command values - as suggested by Keith.
