[PATCH] nvme: Check the PRINFO bit and the Metadata size before deciding the host buffer length

According to NVMe spec v1.4, section 8.3.1, the PRINFO bit and
the metadata size play a vital role in deteriming the host buffer
size.

If PRIFNO bit is set and MS==8, the host doesn't add the metadata
buffer, instead the controller adds it.
