sata_promise: fix endianess bug in ASIC PRD bug workaround

The original workaround for the Promise ASIC PRD bug
contained an endianess bug which I failed to detect:
the adjustment of the last PRD entry's length field
applied host arithmetic to little-endian data, which
is incorrect on big-endian machines.

We have the length available in host-endian format, so
do the adjustment on host-endian data and then convert
and store it in the PRD entry's little-endian data field.

Thanks to an anonymous reviewer for detecting this bug.
