In the scsi_get_vpd_buf() case we will allocate a 255 byte buffer since
that's what scsi_get_vpd_size() returns for a VDASD.

And in the scsi_get_vpd_page() case, where a buffer already exists, we
clamp the INQUIRY size to the minimum of scsi_get_vpd_size() and the
buffer length provided by the caller.
