[PATCH] USB Storage: Sysfs attribute file for max_sectors

After much discussion with the SCSI folks, here's a patch to export
max_sectors as a sysfs attribute.  Turning this down makes some people's
devices more stable, but at a significant cost in performance.  Now, users
can adjust it without recompilation.

This is YAASP (yet another Alan Stern patch).
