[PATCH] update max_sectors documentation

The max_sectors has been split into max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for some
time. A patch to have blk_queue_max_sectors enforce this was sent by
me and it broke IDE. This patch updates the documentation.

blk_queue_max_sectors(q, max_sectors)
Maximum size request you can handle in units of 512 byte

Sets two variables that limit the size of the request.
- The request queue's max_sectors, which is a soft size in
in units of 512 byte sectors, and could be dynamically varied
by the core kernel.
- The request queue's max_hw_sectors, which is a hard limit
and reflects the maximum size request a driver can handle
in units of 512 byte sectors.
The default for both max_sectors and max_hw_sectors is
255. The upper limit of max_sectors is 1024.
