The main point there is not to check q->limits.max_sectors against
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, but sdkp->opt_xfer_blocks against
SD_DEF_XFER_BLOCKS et al.? `rw_max = BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS;` there is
merely the fallback when sdkp->opt_xfer_blocks does not pass the
conditions. With your patch `rw_max` can be indeterminate in those
circumstances.
