Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix off-by-one error in request_buffer check

From: Thiago Jung Bauermann <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 18:55:32 -0300

request_buffer can hold 254 requests, so if it already has that number of
entries we can't add a new one.

Also, define constant to show where the number comes from.
