aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference
It appears that driver runs into a problem here if fibsize is too small because we allocate user_srbcmd with fibsize size only but later we access it until user_srbcmd->sg.count to copy it over to srbcmd. It is not correct to test (fibsize < sizeof(*user_srbcmd)) because this structure already includes one sg element and this is not needed for commands without data. So, we would recommend to add the following (instead of test for fibsize == 0).
