There's no real need to add this parameter, since all you're doing is
assigning it to srb.sense_buffer, there's no need to have an extra
pointer for it.

Needs to be a kfree(info->sense_buffer) to avoid leaks if the others
couldn't allocate ... it also looks like there are missing
kfree(info->id) and (info->RegsBuf) that fix leaks that aren't part of
this patch.
