[PATCH 06/22] [SCSI] mpt2sas, mpt3sas: Removing uppper boundary restriction for the module parameter max_sgl_entries

[Sreekanth Reddy]

1. Removed the upper boundary restriction for the module parameter max_sgl_entries. Earlier, the max_sgl_entries was capped at the SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS kernel definition. With this change, the user would be able to set the max_sgl_entries to any value.
2. Added a print for the message log whenever the user sets the max_sgl_entries to a value greater than SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS to warn about the kernel definition overriding.
