[PATCH] ibmvfc: fix misdefined reserved field in ibmvfc_fcp_rsp_info

The fcp_rsp_info structure as defined in the FC spec has an initial 3 bytes
reserved field. The ibmvfc driver mistakenly defined this field as 4 bytes
resulting in the rsp_code field being defined in what should be the start of
the second reserved field and thus always being reported as zero by the
driver.

Ideally, we should wire ibmvfc up with libfc for the sake of code
deduplication, and ease of maintaining standardized structures in a single
place. However, for now simply fixup the definition in ibmvfc for
backporting to distros on older kernels. Wiring up with libfc will be done
in a followup patch.
