alloc failure in qla1280 probe -- need to decrease can_queue?

[Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com>]

Hi,

We received a bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1321033
of qla1280 scsi host failure on 4.4 based kernels that looks to be caused
by page alloc failure:

This looks very similar to http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg136998.html
which was fixed by 55ff8cfbc4e1 ("USB: uas: Reduce can_queue to MAX_CMNDS").
Does a similar fix need to be applied here?

Thanks,
Laura
