[PATCH v1 2/2] nvme-pci: handle dma_opt_mapping_size() returning 0

From: Ionut Nechita <ionut.nechita at windriver.com>

After the previous commit, dma_opt_mapping_size() returns 0 when no DMA
backend provides an optimal mapping size hint (e.g. IOMMU in passthrough
mode with no ops->opt_mapping_size callback).

The NVMe PCI driver used min_t(u32, NVME_MAX_BYTES >> SECTOR_SHIFT,
dma_opt_mapping_size() >> 9) to cap max_hw_sectors.  With a 0 return
value this would set max_hw_sectors to 0, which is invalid.

Guard the min_t so that max_hw_sectors is only capped when
dma_opt_mapping_size() provides a real hint.  When it returns 0, fall
back to the existing NVME_MAX_BYTES >> SECTOR_SHIFT default.

Fixes: 3710e2b056cb ("nvme-pci: clamp max_hw_sectors based on DMA optimized limitation")
