nvme-pci: iod npages fits in s8
The largest allowed transfer is 4MB, which can use at most 1025 PRPs. Each PRP is 8 bytes, so the maximum number of 4k nvme pages needed for the iod_list is 3, which fits in an 's8' type. While modifying this field, change the name to "nr_allocations" to better represent that this is referring to the number of units allocated from a dma_pool. Also introduce a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure we never accidently increase the largest transfer limit beyond 127 chained prp lists.
