[PATCH V3 09/14] scsi: mpt3sas: take blk_mq_max_nr_hw_queues() into account for calculating io vectors

Take blk-mq's knowledge into account for calculating io queues.

Fix wrong queue mapping in case of kdump kernel.

On arm and ppc64, 'maxcpus=1' is passed to kdump kernel command line,
see `Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst`, so num_possible_cpus()
still returns all CPUs because 'maxcpus=1' just bring up one single
cpu core during booting.

blk-mq sees single queue in kdump kernel, and in driver's viewpoint
there are still multiple queues, this inconsistency causes driver to apply
wrong queue mapping for handling IO, and IO timeout is triggered.

Meantime, single queue makes much less resource utilization, and reduce
risk of kernel failure.
