scsi: core: avoid preallocating big SGL for protection information

scsi_mq_setup_tags() currently preallocates a big buffer for protection
SGL entries. scsi_mq_sgl_size() is used to determine the size for both data
and protection information scatterlists but the protection buffer is
usually much smaller. For example, one 512-byte sector needs 8 bytes of
protection information. Given that the maximum number of sectors for one
request is 2560 (BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS) sectors, the max protection
information buffer size is just 20K.

The protection information segment count generally matches the number of
bios in the request. As a result, the typical actual number of segments
won't be very big. And should the need arise, allocating a bigger SGL from
slab is fast enough.

Pre-allocate only one SGL entry for protection information and switch to
runtime allocation in case that the protection information segment number
is bigger than 1. This reduces memory tied up by static command
allocations. For example, 500+ MB is saved on single lpfc HBA.
