PATCH 1/1 scsi: dpt_i2o: Remove VLA usage

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().

Friendly ping! How does this look for v4.18?

Thanks!

Applied to 4.18/scsi-queue. Thanks!
