[PATCH 5/6] mptlan: bug fix, only half the message frame is dma'd resulting in corruption

[Eric Moore <eric.moore@lsi.com>]

NB = number of blocks.  This represents the number of blocks to transfer.
The block size is based on the message frame size provided in the ioc_facts. A value of zero indicates the entire message frame should be copied. This is two bit value.  So by setting this to non-zero vaule, you increase performance by reducing amount of data needing to be dma'd.   The value that is stored in ioc->ReqeustNB is sometimes a non-zero vaule, which  creates a bug in mptlan, where not the entire message frame is getting transfer to firware, resulting in corruption.  This fix sets the default to zero, thus entire message frame is copied.
