ibmvscsis: Add SGL LIMIT

[bugproxy]

---Problem Description---
Provide an internal LIO SGL Limit, since the driver is already establishing and setting max transfer size on transport layer of 1MB to client. We should keep consistency and provide that limit to LIO.

Upstream submission was made. Awaiting acceptance to provide commit id.

Leann,

This is one for the Kernel team, although there does not appear to be a
patch attached. I'll set the bug status to incomplete.
