[PATCH] nvme: add a module parameter to change queue depth

[Masayoshi Mizuma]

This patch adds "q_depth_limit" as a module parameter. nvme_queue->q_depth
is set below q_depth_limit.

while loop at __nvme_process_cq() sometimes takes long time and
the loop is under IRQ context, so system slow down and hardlockup
may occur because of the loop.

The while loop runs nvme_queue->q_depth times and the q_depth is set
by the following (NVME_Q_DEPTH is 1024).

 dev->q_depth = min_t(int, NVME_CAP_MQES(cap) + 1, NVME_Q_DEPTH);

To reduce the times of the loop, the q_depth_limit is useful.

In addition, this patch moves the temporary fix for the Apple controller
into the new function, get_q_depth().
