This description doesn't seem accurate at all, and this patch seems to
be doing two things:

Increasing RXE_MAX_INLINE_DATA to match the WQE size limited the
MAX_SGE. IMHO this is done in a hacky way, instead we should define a
maximim WQE size and from there derive the MAX_INLINE_DATA and MAX_SGE
limitations.

Whatever this is doing. Is this trying to expand the supported inline
data when max_sge is provided? That seems reasonable but
peculiar. Should be it's own patch.

Also don't double initialize qp->sq.max_inline in the same function,
and there is no need for the temporary 'inline_size'
