md/raid5: Increase restriction on max segments per request

The block layer defaults the maximum segments to 128, which means
requests tend to get split around the 512KB depending on how many
pages can be merged. There's no such restriction in the raid5 code
so increase the limit to USHRT_MAX so that larger requests can be
sent as one.
