[PATCH] fuse: increase FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES limit

From: Xu Ji <laoji.jx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Increase FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES limit, so that the maximum data size of a
single request is increased.

This optimizes the write performance especially when the optimal IO size
of the backend store at the fuse daemon side is greater than the original
maximum request size (i.e. 1MB with 256 FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES and
4096 PAGE_SIZE).

Be noted that this only increases the upper limit of the maximum request
size, while the real maximum request size relies on the FUSE_INIT
negotiation with the fuse daemon.

I'm not sure if 1024 is adequate for FUSE_MAX_MAX_PAGES, as the
Bytedance floks seems to had increased the maximum request size to 8M
and saw a ~20% performance boost.
