[SCSI] st: Increase success probability in driver buffer allocation
Modify allocation to try the minimum possible page order allowed by the HBA scatter/gather segment limit in allocation of the driver's internal buffer. This increases the probability of successful allocation. The allocation may still fail if this minimum order is > 0.
