[PATCH 03/14] rbd: increase io_opt again

Commit 16d80c54ad42 ("rbd: set io_min, io_opt and discard_granularity to
alloc_size") lowered the io_opt size for rbd from objset_bytes which is
4MB for typical setup to alloc_size which is typically 64KB.

The commit mostly talks about discard behavior and does mention io_min
in passing.  Reducing io_opt means reducing the readahead size, which
seems counter-intuitive given that rbd currently abuses the user
max_sectors setting to actually increase the I/O size.  Switch back
to the old setting to allow larger reads (the readahead size despite it's
name actually limits the size of any buffered read) and to prepare
for using io_opt in the max_sectors calculation and getting drivers out
of the business of overriding the max_user_sectors value.
