Description of problem:
This issue come from Bug 2096251 - RHEL8.4 with qemu sg_io passthrough devices advertise a failing max_sectors_kb size of 1280 for the LUN 

The problem only happens on hardware that does not support the Block Limits VPD page

For example:

Check the host FC disk

[root@localhost tmp]# for tmp_f in /sys/block/sdd/queue/[mlp]*; do echo -n $tmp_f: ; cat $tmp_f; done
/sys/block/sdd/queue/logical_block_size:512

There is no Block Limits VPD page.

pass-through the disk as scsi-block 

It get wrong Maximum transfer length result in io-error.

2.check disk info in guest

[root@testg ~]# 
for tmp_f in /sys/block/sdb/queue/[mlp]*; do echo -n $tmp_f: ; cat $tmp_f; done

[root@testg ~]# sg_inq --page bl /dev/sdb

Actual results:
[root@testg ~]# for tmp_f in /sys/block/sdb/queue/[mlp]*; do echo -n $tmp_f: ; cat $tmp_f; done
/sys/block/sdb/queue/logical_block_size:512

  Maximum compare and write length: 0 blocks [Command not implemented]
  Optimal transfer length granularity: 0 blocks [not reported]

Expected results:
The max_sectors_kb >=  4 * max_segments 
The maximum transfer length / 2 = max_sectors_kb
