[PATCH v3] 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.

Changes from v2:
1. Use sizeof(struct t10_pi_tuple) to check against MS.
2. Use if-else statements to set the meta_len and metadata

Changes from v1:
1. Remove the definition 'NVME_PRINFO_CTRL_BIT'
2. Remove variable 'control'
3. Remove test_bit and check the bit with the CPU arch's native endianness
