SCSI: sd: Reduce buffer size for vpd request
commit af73623f5f10eb3832c87a169b28f7df040a875b upstream.
Somehow older areca firmware versions have issues with
scsi_get_vpd_page() and a large buffer, the firmware
seems to crash and the scsi error-handler will start endless
recovery retries.
Limiting the buf-size to 64-bytes fixes this issue with older
firmware versions (<1.49 for my controller).
Fixes a regression with areca controllers and older firmware versions
introduced by commit: 66c28f97120e8a621afd5aa7a31c4b85c547d33d
