[PATCH v2 2/5] file-posix: add sg_get_max_segments that actually works with sg

[Maxim Levitsky]

From: Tom Yan <tom.t...@gmail.com>

sg devices have different major/minor than their corresponding
block devices. Using sysfs to get max segments never really worked
for them.

Fortunately the sg driver provides an ioctl to get sg_tablesize,
which is apparently equivalent to max segments.
