scsi: storvsc: Correct reporting of Hyper-V I/O size limits

Current code is based on the idea that the max number of SGL entries also determines the max size of an I/O request. While this idea was true in older versions of the storvsc driver when SGL entry length was limited to 4 Kbytes, commit 3d9c3dcc58e9 ("scsi: storvsc: Enable scatterlist entry lengths > 4Kbytes") removed that limitation. It's now theoretically possible for the block layer to send requests that exceed the maximum size supported by Hyper-V. This problem doesn't currently happen in practice because the block layer defaults to a 512 Kbyte maximum, while Hyper-V in Azure supports 2 Mbyte I/O sizes. But some future configuration of Hyper-V could have a smaller max I/O size, and the block layer could exceed that max. Fix this by correctly setting max_sectors as well as sg_tablesize to reflect the maximum I/O size that Hyper-V reports. While allowing I/O sizes larger than the block layer default of 512 Kbytes doesn’t provide any noticeable performance benefit in the tests we ran, it's still appropriate to report the correct underlying Hyper-V capabilities to the Linux block layer. Also tweak the virt_boundary_mask to reflect that the required alignment derives from Hyper-V communication using a 4 Kbyte page size, and not on the guest page size, which might be bigger (eg. ARM64).
