Subject: [PATCH] dm-verity-fec: fix the size of dm_verity_fec_io::erasures

At most 25 entries in dm_verity_fec_io::erasures are used: the maximum
number of FEC roots plus one.  Therefore, set the array size
accordingly.  This reduces the size of dm_verity_fec_io by 912 bytes.

Note: a later commit introduces a constant DM_VERITY_FEC_MAX_ROOTS,
which allows the size to be more clearly expressed as
DM_VERITY_FEC_MAX_ROOTS + 1.  This commit just fixes the size first.
