bsg-lib: fix kernel panic resulting from missing allocation of reply-buffer
Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request bsg fails to provide a reply-buffer for the drivers. This was done via the pointer for sense-data, that is not preallocated anymore. Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because LLDs use this pointer unquestioned. An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on s390x): Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space Failing address: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6000 TEID: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6403 Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003ff801e41d6>] zfcp_fc_ct_job_handler+0x3e/0x48 [zfcp] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup struct bsg_job ahead of time, including the allocation of a buffer for the reply-data. This means, struct bsg_job is not allocated separately anymore, but as part of struct request allocation - similar to struct scsi_cmd. Reflect this in the function names that used to handle creation/destruction of struct bsg_job.
