[PATCH] nvme-pci: fix prp list allocation

[Matt Waltz]

That is the wrong part of the specification, describing the PRP entries,
not the list pointer. The relevant portion of the spec (2.0a figure
109 page 129) says:

    If this entry is not the first PRP entry in the command or a
    PRP List pointer in a command, then the Offset portion of this
    field shall be cleared to 0h
