scsi: ipr: Fix softlockup when rescanning devices in petitboot
When trying to rescan disks in petitboot shell, we hit the following
softlockup stacktrace:

As a part of the scan process Linux will allocate and configure a
scsi_device for each target to be scanned. If the device is not present,
then the scsi_device is torn down. As a part of scsi_device teardown a
workqueue item will be scheduled and the lockups we see are because there
are 250k workqueue items to be processed. Accoding to the specification of
SIS-64 sas controller, max_channel should be decreased on SIS-64 adapters
to 4.
The patch fixes softlockup issue.
Thanks for Oliver Halloran's help with debugging and explanation!
