hpsa: fix block fetch table problem.
We have 32 (MAXSGENTRIES) scatter gather elements embedded
in the command. With all these, the total command size is
about 576 bytes. However, the last entry in the block fetch table
is 35. (the block fetch table contains the number of 16-byte chunks
the firmware needs to fetch for a given number of scatter gather
elements.) 35 * 16 = 560 bytes, which isn't enough. It needs to be
36. (36 * 16 == 576) or, MAXSGENTRIES + 4. (plus 4 because there's a
bunch of stuff at the front of the command before the first scatter
gather element that takes up 4 * 16 bytes.) Without this fix, the
controller may have to perform two DMA operations to fetch the
command since the first one may not get the whole thing.
