nvme-pci: place descriptor addresses in iod
The 'struct nvme_iod' space is appended at the end of the preallocated 'struct request', and padded to the cache line size. This leaves some free memory (in most kernel configs) up for grabs. Instead of appending the nvme data descriptor addresses after the scatterlist, inline these for free within struct nvme_iod. There is now enough space in the mempool for 128 possibe segments. And without increasing the size of the preallocated requests, we can hold up to 5 PRP descriptor elements, allowing the driver to increase its max transfer size to 8MB.
