[ofa-general] mthca max_sge value... ugh.

it was recently pointed out to me that mem-free mthca devices cannot
create a QP with max_send_sge and max_recv_sge set to the max_sge value
returned by querying the device. The strange thing is that I thought I
had tested this a while ago and it worked, but I can't see anything that
would have changed things.
Anyway, the patch below fixes things for me (tested on both mem-free and
mem-full HCAs). But does anyone see something better to do? (short
term or long term)
