This off by one bug will cause memory corruption when we use every
sglun.

The problem is that NSP32_SG_TABLE_SIZE is too small.  Here is how
it's caculated in the original code:

	sizeof(nsp32_sgtable) * NSP32_SG_SIZE * MAX_TARGET * MAX_LUN

But the problem is that the NSP32_SG_SIZE should be (NSP32_SG_SIZE + 1)
like this:

	sizeof(nsp32_sgtable) * (NSP32_SG_SIZE + 1) * MAX_TARGET * MAX_LUN

Or another more intuitive way to write it would be:

	sizeof(nsp32_sglun) * MAX_TARGET * MAX_LUN

We use NSP32_SG_TABLE_SIZE to allocate data->sg_list which is an array
of nsp32_sglun structs.  The array has MAX_TARGET * MAX_LUN elements.

MAX_TARGET (8) * MAX_LUN (8) = 64 elements.  The missing "+ 1" means
that we only allocate enough space for 63 elements.  In terms of bytes,
the old code allocated 65536 bytes and now it allocates 66048 bytes.
