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.
