[SCSI] hpsa: cap CCISS_PASSTHRU at 20 concurrent commands.
Cap CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU as well. If an attempt is made
to exceed this, ioctl() will return -1 with errno == EAGAIN.
This is to prevent a userland program from exhausting all of
pci_alloc_consistent memory. I've only seen this problem when
running a special test program designed to provoke it. 20
concurrent commands via the passthru ioctls (not counting SG_IO)
should be more than enough.
