In nvme_map_sgl() we create an array segment[] whose size is the
'const int SEG_CHUNK_SIZE'. Since this is C, rather than C++, a
"const int foo" is not a true constant, it's merely a variable with a
constant value, and so semantically segment[] is a variable-length
array. Switch SEG_CHUNK_SIZE to a #define so that we can make the
segment[] array truly fixed-size, in the sense that it doesn't
trigger the -Wvla warning.
The codebase has very few VLAs, and if we can get rid of them all we
can make the compiler error on new additions. This is a defensive
measure against security bugs where an on-stack dynamic allocation
isn't correctly size-checked (e.g. CVE-2021-3527).
