[PATCH] nvme-pci: fix host memory buffer allocation size

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Thu Apr 28 2022 - 06:27:22 EST


We want to allocate the smallest possible amount of buffers with the
largest possible size (1 buffer of size "hmpre").

Previously we were allocating as many buffers as possible of the smallest
possible size.
This also lead to "hmpre" to not be satisifed as not enough buffer slots
where available.
