SCSI fixes on 20170725 

Three small fixes.  The transfer size fixes are actually correcting
 some performance drops on the hpsa and smartpqi cards.  The cards
 actually have an internal cache for request speed up but bypass it for
 transfers > 1MB.  Since 4.3 the efficiency of our merges has rendered
 the cache mostly unused, so limit transfers to under 1MB to recover
 the cache boost.
