Subject: [PATCH] rbd: Remove VLA usage

As part of the effort to remove VLAs from the kernel[1], this moves
the literal values into the stack array calculation instead of using a
variable for the sizing. The resulting size can be found from
sizeof(buf).

This patch is mangled -- tabs, etc.  See

VLAs are also used in a number of places in the Ceph codebase. 
Unfortunately, g++ enables them in C++ (they aren't part of the standard) 
by default. They're innocently easy to write and give you no ability to 
check for errors.

Good to see renewed attention drawn to this, and I hope we'll consider 
removing them from Ceph as well (and/or drawing very close attention to 
them, where they're truly being useful).
