commit 5f4e206666f834340b69ddb43f86de3851c8675a upstream.

Previously we used Maximum Unmap LBA Count in the Block Limits VPD to
signal the maximum number of sectors we could handle in a single Write
Same command.

Starting with SBC3r26 the Block Limits VPD has an explicit limit on the
number of blocks in a Write Same. This means we can stop abusing a field
related to the Unmap command and let our SAT use the proper value in the
VPD (Maximum Write Same Length).
