NVMe target only accepts single-page sg list, either file or block

However, loop target is one exception, given the sg list is from
the host queue directly.

This patch sets loop queue's segment boundary mask as PAGE_SIZE - 1
for following NVMe target assumption.

Could you provide some background as to why this is -stable only in the
