[SCSI] mpt3sas: Added a driver module parameter max_msix_vectors
Added a driver module parameter max_msix_vectors. Using this module parameter the maximum number of MSI-X vectors could be set. The number of MSI-X vectors used would be the minimum of MSI-X vectors supported by the HBA, the number of CPU cores and the value set to max_msix_vectors module parameter. The default value of this module parameter is set to 8. The default value of this parameter is set to 8 inorder to reduce the amount of memory required for Reply Descriptor Post queue. This is because with the higher MSI-X vectors, some times kernel is not able to allocate the requested amount of memory and crash is observed. To overcome this problem, the default value is set to 8.
