s390/dasd: reduce the default queue depth and nr of hardware queues

Browse Source 
Reduce the default values for the number of hardware queues and queue depth
to significantly reduce the memory footprint of a DASD device.
The memory consumption per DASD device reduces from approximately 40MB to
approximately 1.5MB.

This is necessary to build systems with a large number of DASD devices and
a reasonable amount of memory.
Performance measurements showed that good performance results are possible
with the new default values even on systems with lots of CPUs and lots of
alias devices.
