For the MaxDevices 8-bit field of the request / response structures
of the MPI_FUNCTION_IOC_INIT command, the 0x00 value means "max 256
devices". This is not a problem because when max_devices=256, its
value (0x100), being casted to a uint8_t, is truncated to 0x00.
However Coverity complains for an "Overflowed constant". Fix by
re-using the request fields in the response, since they are not
modified and use the same types.

Fix: Coverity 1547736 (Overflowed constant)
