dm-crypt: stop constraining max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE
This change effectively reverts commit 586b286b ("dm crypt: constrain crypt device's max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE") and relies on block core's late bio-splitting to ensure that dm-crypt's encryption bios are split accordingly if they exceed the underlying device's limits (e.g. max_segment_size). Commit 586b286b was applied as a 4.3 fix for the benefit of stable@ kernels 4.0+ just after block core's late bio-splitting was introduced in 4.3 with commit 54efd50b ("block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios"). Given block core's late bio-splitting it is past time that dm-crypt make use of it. Also, given the recent need to revert meaningful progress that was attempted during the 6.9 merge window (see commit bff4b746 Revert "dm: use queue_limits_set") this change allows DM core to safely make use of queue_limits_set() without risk of breaking dm-crypt on NVMe. Though it should be noted this commit isn't a prereq for reinstating DM core's use of queue_limits_set() because blk_validate_limits() was made less strict with commit b561ea56 ("block: allow device to have both virt_boundary_mask and max segment size").
