block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512

The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
(ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.

But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS

I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
behaviour.

This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
max_sectors as it was before.
