    libnvdimm: fix ars_status output length calculation · 286e8771

    Commit efda1b5d ("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.
