Subject: [PATCH] dm-verity-fec: fix the size of dm_verity_fec_io::erasures

At most 25 entries in dm_verity_fec_io::erasures are used: the maximum number of FEC roots plus one. Therefore, set the array size accordingly. This reduces the size of dm_verity_fec_io by 912 bytes.

Note: a later commit introduces a constant DM_VERITY_FEC_MAX_ROOTS, which allows the size to be more clearly expressed as DM_VERITY_FEC_MAX_ROOTS + 1. This commit just fixes the size first.

Fixes a739ff3f543a ("dm verity: add support for forward error correction")
