The current code sets the sg_tablesize prior to the call to
scsi_host_alloc() which is done at the time the target is added, not
at the time of the connection to the target.  

If sg_tablesize can be modified/supplied with the scsi_add_host()
call, then the SRP initiator could pass it at connect time.
