lib: sparse: allocate FASTBOOT_MAX_BLK_WRITE instead of small number

Commit 16fd560ab191 ("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' 1/2 (768793 KB)             OKAY [ 23.912s]
Writing 'super'                                    OKAY [ 15.780s]
