Commit efda1b5d87cb ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling")
Introduced additional hardening for ambiguity in the ACPI spec for
ars_status output sizing. However, it had a couple of cases mixed up.
Where it should have been checking for (and returning) "out_field[1] -
4" it was using "out_field[1] - 8" and vice versa.

This caused a four byte discrepancy in the buffer size passed on to
the command handler, and in some cases, this caused memory corruption
like:

  ./daxdev-errors.sh: line 76: 24104 Aborted   (core dumped) ./daxdev-errors $busdev $region
  malloc(): memory corruption
  Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
