[SCSI] use dynamically allocated sense buffer

This removes static array sense_buffer in scsi_cmnd and uses
dynamically allocated sense_buffer (with GFP_DMA).

The reason for doing this is that some architectures need cacheline
aligned buffer for DMA:

The problems are that scsi_eh_prep_cmnd puts scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer
to sglist and some LLDs directly DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer. It's
necessary to DMA to scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer safely. This patch solves
these issues.

__scsi_get_command allocates sense_buffer via kmem_cache_alloc and
attaches it to a scsi_cmnd so everything just work as before.
