blk-mq: fix buffer overflow when reading sysfs file of 'pending'
There may be lots of pending requests so that the buffer of PAGE_SIZE
can't hold them at all.
One typical example is scsi-mq, the queue depth(.can_queue) of
scsi_host and blk-mq is quite big but scsi_device's queue_depth
is a bit small(.cmd_per_lun), then it is quite easy to have lots
of pending requests in hw queue.
This patch fixes the following warning and the related memory
destruction.
