[SCSI] hpsa: sanitize max commands
Some controllers might try to tell us they support 0 commands in performant mode. This is a lie told by buggy firmware. We have to be wary of this lest we try to allocate a negative number of command blocks, which will be treated as unsigned, and get an out of memory condition. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.
