[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] multipath-tools: fix the bug while processing vpd 0x83 designation descriptors

["Moger, Babu" <Babu Moger netapp com>]

This patch fixes the bug while processing the vpd 0x83 designation descriptors.
Removing the buggy check(> sizeof(buf))while loping the descriptors. Sizeof(buf) will 
always return 8 (in 64 bit machine). Descriptor length can be more than 8 bytes in 
some cases. This was causing problems while configuring my storage with alua.
