[SCSI] st: Increase success probability in driver buffer allocation

Modify allocation to try the minimum possible page order allowed by the HBA
scatter/gather segment limit in allocation of the driver's internal
buffer. This increases the probability of successful allocation. The
allocation may still fail if this minimum order is > 0.
