[libata] increase max-sectors limit for modern drives

This is the much-discussed "speed up SATA" patch.  It limits requests
to 1MB as discussed, rather than the hardware maximum (32MB).

As soon as Jens Axboe's patch to dynamically determining request
size is merged, max_sectors becomes what it properly should be --
a description of the absolute hardware maximum.
