[PATCH] btrfs: raid56: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue May 29 2018 - 19:45:08 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the working buffers during regular init, instead of using stack
space. This refactors the allocation code a bit to make it easier
to review.
