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.

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.
