Subject[PATCH 11/21] nbd: limit blk_queue
Limit each request to 1 page, so that the request throttling also limits the
number of in-flight pages and force the IO scheduler to NOOP as anything else
doesn't make sense anyway.

(Pavel, I will analyse those !NOOP deadlocks I got, I'm just re-posting so
people can comment on the rest)
