Reduce sequential pointer derefs in scsi_error.c and reduce size as well
This patch reduces the number of sequential pointer derefs in drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c This has been submitted a number of times over a couple of years. I believe this version adresses all comments it has gathered over time. Please apply or reject with a reason. The benefits are: - makes the code easier to read. Lots of sequential derefs of the same pointers is not easy on the eye. - theoretically at least, just dereferencing the pointers once can allow the compiler to generally slightly faster code, so in theory this could also be a micro speed optimization. - reduces size of object file (tiny effect: on x86-64, in at least one configuration, the text size decreased from 9439 bytes to 9400) - removes some pointless (mostly trailing) whitespace.
