After setting indirect_sg_entries module_param to huge value (e.g 500,000),
srp_alloc_req_data() fails to allocate indirect descriptors for the request
ring (kmalloc fails). This commit enforces the maximum value of
indirect_sg_entries to be SG_MAX_SEGMENTS as signified in module param
description.
Fixes: 65e8617fba17 (scsi: rename SCSI_MAX_{SG, SG_CHAIN}_SEGMENTS)
Fixes: c07d424d6118 (IB/srp: add support for indirect tables that don't fit in SRP_CMD)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
