The sg-big-buff sysctl no longer exists. The documented SG_BIG_BUFF
macro is only a compatibility alias and changing it does not alter the
driver default.
Fixes: 50209dec14f8 ("scsi: sg: Remove deprecated sg-big-buff")

-sg-big-buff
-===========
-
-This file shows the size of the generic SCSI (sg) buffer.
-You can't tune it just yet, but you could change it on
-compile time by editing ``include/scsi/sg.h`` and changing
-the value of ``SG_BIG_BUFF``.
-
-There shouldn't be any reason to change this value. If
-you can come up with one, you probably know what you
-are doing anyway :)
