struct MPI2_RAID_SCSI_IO_REQUEST ends with a single SGL, but expects to copy multiple. Add a flexible array member so the compiler can reason about the size of the memcpy().

I expect it should do the trick, but I don't have the hardware.
Yes, that does work. I no longer see 'memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 128)'. Tested this on 6.1.4-rc1. Did not see any other regression. Regards, Holger
