Subject: [PATCH] scsi: fix a double-fetch bug in adpt_i2o_passthru

user_msg[0] is a size variable, which is copied in from user space and
checked. It is copied in again from user space after the check, and used
in the following execution. Malicious user programs can race to change
user_msg[0] between the two copies, leading to incorrect size. The fix
ensures to use the checked size.
