scsi: mpi3mr: Fix duplicate device entries when scanning through sysfs
[ Upstream commit 97e6ea6d78064e7f1e9e19c45dc690aabbb71297 ]
When scanning devices through the 'scan' attribute in sysfs, the user will
observe duplicate device entries in lsscsi command output.
Set the shost's max_channel to zero to avoid this.
