4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]> commit 1488a1e3828d60d74c9b802a05e24c0487babe4e upstream. Since 34b48db66e08 ("block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap"), max_sectors is no longer limited to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS and LITE-ON CX1-JB256-HP keeps timing out with higher max_sectors. Revert it to the previous value.
