Subject: [PATCH v3] storvsc: use small sg_tablesize on x86

Reducing the sg_tablesize allows booting of 32bit kernels in VMs, after
commit be0cf6ca301c61458dc4aa1a37acf4f58d2ed3d6 ("scsi: storvsc: Set the
tablesize based on the information given by the host")

[    5.567138] hv_storvsc vmbus_1: adjusting sg_tablesize 0x800 -> 0x20

Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@...fle.de>
---

As requested, use CONFIG_<bitsize>. For some reason IS_ENABLED(64_BIT)
does not work.
