From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon at samsung.com>

It is better to use blk_queue_max_discard_sectors helper
function to set max_discard_sectors as it checks
max_discard_sectors upper limit UINT_MAX >> 9

similar issue was reported for mmc in below link
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/1/292

If multiple discard requests get merged, merged discard request's
size exceeds 4GB, there is possibility that merged discard request's
__data_len field may overflow.

This patch fixes this issue.
