Subject: [PATCH] scsi: libosd: Remove VLA usage

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this rearranges the
code to avoid a VLA warning under -Wvla (gcc doesn't recognize "const"
variables as not triggering VLA creation). Additionally cleans up variable
naming to avoid 80 character column limit.
