When the BSG interface is used with bsg-lib, and the user sends a
Bidirectional command - so when he gives an input- and output-buffer
(most users of our interface will likely do that, if they wanna get the
transport-level response data) - bsg will allocate two requests from the
queue. The first request's bio is used to map the input and the second
request's bio for the output (see bsg_map_hdr() in the if-statement with
(op == REQ_OP_SCSI_OUT && hdr->din_xfer_len)).

When we now allocate the full space of bsg_job, sense, dd_data for each
request, these will be wasted on the (linked) second request. They will
go unused all the time, as only the first request's bsg_job, sense and
dd_data is used by the LLDs and BSG itself.

Right now, because we don't allocate this on each request, those spaces
are only allocated for the first request in bsg-lib.

Maybe we can ignore this, if it gets to complicated, I don't wanne
prolong this unnecessary.
