scsi/ibmvscsi: Fix host config length field overflow
The length field in the host config packet is only 16-bit long, so
passing it 0x10000 (64K which is our standard PAGE_SIZE) doesn't
work and result in an empty config from the server.

James, can this be added to your for-next branch so that we can
also get this to the stable trees? Thanks.
