libnvdimm: fix ars_status output length calculation
Commit efda1b5 ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling") Introduced additional hardening for ambiguity in the ACPI spec for ars_status output sizing. However, it had a couple of cases mixed up. Where it should have been checking for (and returning) "out_field[1] - 4" it was using "out_field[1] - 8" and vice versa. This caused a four byte discrepancy in the buffer size passed on to the command handler, and in some cases, this caused memory corruption like: ./daxdev-errors.sh: line 76: 24104 Aborted (core dumped) ./daxdev-errors $busdev $region malloc(): memory corruption Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
