Reduce the default VMbus channel ring buffer size for storvsc
SCSI devices from 1 Mbyte to 128 Kbytes. Measurements show
that ring buffer sizes above 128 Kbytes do not increase
performance even at very high IOPS rates, so don't waste
the memory. Also remove the dependence on PAGE_SIZE, since
the ring buffer size should not change on architectures
where PAGE_SIZE is not 4 Kbytes.

Applied to 5.1/scsi-fixes, thanks.
