[ Upstream commit 7e04e21afa82ef024416f5413b5bdb66e0505bcd ]

The older sli4 adapters only supported the 64 byte WQE entry size. The new adapter (fw) support both 64 and 128 byte WQE entry sizies. The Express lane WQ was not being created with the 128 byte WQE sizes when it was supported.

Not having the right WQE size created for the express lane work queue caused the the firmware to overwrite the lun indentifier in the FCP header.

This patch correctly creates the express lane work queue with the supported size.
