scsi: iscsi: target: Don't use stack buffer for scatterlist



Fedora got a bug report of a crash with iSCSI:

kernel BUG at include/linux/scatterlist.h:143!
...
RIP: 0010:iscsit_do_crypto_hash_buf+0x154/0x180 [iscsi_target_mod]

This is a BUG_ON for using a stack buffer with a scatterlist.  There
are two cases that trigger this bug. Switch to using a dynamically
allocated buffer for one case and do not assign a NULL buffer in
another case.
