Subject: nfs: fix pg_test page count calculation

From: Peng Tao <[email protected]>

commit 048883e0b934d9a5103d40e209cb14b7f33d2933 upstream.

We really want sizeof(struct page *) instead. Otherwise we limit maximum IO size to 64 pages rather than 512 pages on a 64bit system.

Fixes 2e11f829(nfs: cap request size to fit a kmalloced page array).
