Commit 39c60a0948cc '[SCSI] sd: fix array cache flushing bug causing performance problems' added temp as a pointer to "temporary " and used sizeof(temp) - 1 as its length. But sizeof(temp) is the size of the pointer, not the size of the string constant. Change temp to a static array so that sizeof() does what was intended.
