Subject: [PATCH] scsi: esas2r: fix possible buffer overflow caused by bad DMA value in esas2r_process_fs_ioctl()

In esas2r_read_fs():
  struct esas2r_ioctl_fs *fs = 
         (struct esas2r_ioctl_fs *)a->fs_api_buffer;

Because "a->fs_api_buffer" is mapped to coherent DMA (allocated in
esas2r_write_fs()), "fs" is also mapped to DMA.

Then esas2r_read_fs() calls esas2r_process_fs_ioctl() with "fs".

In esas2r_process_fs_ioctl():
  fsc = &fs->command;
  ...
  if (fsc->command >= cmdcnt) {
    fs->status = ATTO_STS_INV_FUNC;
    return false;
  }
  func = cmd_to_fls_func[fsc->command];
  if (func == 0xFF) {
    fs->status = ATTO_STS_INV_FUNC;
    return false;
  }

Because "fs" is mapped to DMA, its data can be modified at anytime by
malicious or malfunctioning hardware. In this case, the check 
"if (fsc->command >= cmdcnt)" can be passed, and then "fsc->command" 
can be modified by hardware to cause buffer overflow.

To fix this problem, "fsc->command" is assigned to a local variable, and
then this local variable is used to replace "fsc->command".
