This patch fixes the bug while processing the vpd 0x83 designation descriptors.
Removing the buggy check(> sizeof(buf))while loping the descriptors. Sizeof(buf) will
always return 8 (in 64 bit machine). Descriptor length can be more than 8 bytes in
some cases. This was causing problems while configuring my storage with alua.
