Subject: [PATCH] cxgb4: allow large buffer size to have page size

Since commit 52367a763d8046190754ab43743e42638564a2d1
("cxgb4/cxgb4vf: Code cleanup to enable T4 Configuration File support"),
we have failures like this during cxgb4 probe:

cxgb4 0000:01:00.4: bad SGE FL page buffer sizes [65536, 65536]
cxgb4: probe of 0000:01:00.4 failed with error -22

This happens whenever software parameters are used, without a
configuration file. That happens when the hardware was already
initialized (after kexec, or after csiostor is loaded).

It happens that these values are acceptable, rendering fl_pg_order equal
to 0, which is the case of a hard init when the page size is equal or
larger than 65536.

Accepting fl_large_pg equal to fl_small_pg solves the issue, and
shouldn't cause any trouble besides a possible performance reduction
when smaller pages are used. And that can be fixed by a configuration
file.
