dm: revert 8f50e358153d ("dm: limit the max bio size as BIO_MAX_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE")
The limit was already incorporated to dm-crypt with commit 4e870e948fba ("dm crypt: fix error with too large bios"), so we don't need to apply it globally to all targets. The quantity BIO_MAX_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE is wrong anyway because the variable ti->max_io_len it is supposed to be in the units of 512-byte sectors not in bytes. Reduction of the limit to 1048576 sectors could even cause data corruption in rare cases - suppose that we have a dm-striped device with stripe size 768MiB. The target will call dm_set_target_max_io_len with the value 1572864. The buggy code would reduce it to 1048576. Now, the dm-core will errorneously split the bios on 1048576-sector boundary insetad of 1572864-sector boundary and pass these stripe-crossing bios to the striped target.
