ctl: limit memory allocation in pci_virtio_scsi

Description

ctl: limit memory allocation in pci_virtio_scsi

The virtio_scsi device allows a VM guest to directly send SCSI commands
(ctsio->cdb array) to the kernel driver exposed on /dev/cam/ctl
(ctl.ko).

All kernel commands accessible from the guest are defined by
ctl_cmd_table.

The command ctl_persistent_reserve_out (cdb[0]=0x5F and cbd[1]=0) allows
the caller to call malloc() with an arbitrary size (uint32_t). This can
be used by the guest to overload the kernel memory (DOS attack).
