[PATCH] rbd: Remove VLA saving ack buffer size

[PATCH] rbd: Remove VLA saving ack buffer size

[Tobin C. Harding]

The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1].  Here the
array is declared using a variable that is declared using a constant
statement but the compiler still emits a warning.  We can clear the
warning bu using the constant statement directly.  The buffer size
variable is set to zero on the error path; the buffer size variable is
used later in the function, we can maintain this behavior by setting the
variable using the macro ARRAY_SIZE.

Use constant statement to declare array.

Excuse the lack of threading, I forgot the second patch ;)  Can re-send
threaded correctly if required.
