[SCSI] lpfc: fix potential overflow of hbqs array

The Coverity checker noticed that we may overrun a statically allocated
array in drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c::lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find().

The case is this; In 'struct lpfc_hba' we have

#define LPFC_MAX_HBQS  4
...
struct lpfc_hba {
...
struct hbq_s hbqs[LPFC_MAX_HBQS];
...
};

But then in lpfc_sli_hbqbuf_find() we have this code

hbqno = tag >> 16;
if (hbqno > LPFC_MAX_HBQS)
return NULL;

if 'hbqno' ends up as exactely 4, then we won't return, and then this

list_for_each_entry(d_buf, &phba->hbqs[hbqno].hbq_buffer_list, list) {

will cause an overflow of the statically allocated array at index 4,
since the valid indices are only 0-3.

I propose this patch, that simply changes the 'hbqno > LPFC_MAX_HBQS'
into 'hbqno >= LPFC_MAX_HBQS' as a possible fix.
