scsi: hpsa: Replace kmalloc() + copy_from_user() with memdup_user() 

Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify hpsa_passthru_ioctl().

Since memdup_user() already allocates memory, use kzalloc() in the else
branch instead of manually zeroing 'buff' using memset(0).

Return early if an error occurs and remove the 'out_kfree' label.

No functional changes intended.
