Subject: IB/srp: fix invalid indirect_sg_entries parameter value

From: Israel Rukshin <[email protected]>

commit 0a475ef4226e305bdcffe12b401ca1eab06c4913 upstream.

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.
