[PATCH] scsi: dpt_i2o: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed May 02 2018 - 18:21:52 EST


On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this moves the sg_list
variable off the stack, as already done for other allocated buffers in
adpt_i2o_passthru(). Additionally consolidates the error path for kfree().
