lib: sparse: allocate FASTBOOT_MAX_BLK_WRITE instead of small number
Commit 62649165cb02 ("lib: sparse: Make CHUNK_TYPE_RAW buffer aligned")
fixed cache alignment for systems with a D-CACHE.
However it introduced some performance regressions [1] on system
flashing huge images, such as Android.
On AM62x SK EVM, we also observe such performance penalty:
Sending sparse 'super' 1/2 (768793 KB) OKAY [ 23.954s]
Writing 'super' OKAY [ 75.926s]
Sending sparse 'super' 2/2 (629819 KB) OKAY [ 19.641s]
Writing 'super' OKAY [ 62.849s]
Finished. Total time: 182.474s
The reason for this is that we use an arbitrary small buffer
(info->blksz * 100) for transferring.
Fix it by using a bigger buffer (info->blksz * FASTBOOT_MAX_BLK_WRITE)
as suggested in the original's patch review [2].
With this patch, performance impact is mitigated:

Sending sparse 'super' 2/2 (629819 KB) OKAY [ 19.581s]
