Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ioat3: fix p-disabled q-continuation

When continuing a pq calculation the driver needs 3 extra sources.  The
driver can perform a 3 source calculation with a single descriptor, but
needs an extended descriptor to process up to 8 sources in one
operation.  However, in the p-disabled case only one extra source is
needed.  When continuing a p-disabled operation there are occasions
(i.e. 0 < src_cnt % 8 < 3) where the tail operation does not need an
extended descriptor.  Properly account for this fact otherwise invalid
'dmacount' values will be written to hardware usually causing the
channel to halt with 'invalid descriptor' errors.
