scsi_disk_new_request_dump is used to dump the content of a scsi request
for tracing. It does that by decoding the command to get the size of the
command buffer, and then printing the content of such buffer on a string.
When using gcc with link-time optimizations, it warns that the argument of
malloc may be too large.

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmem.h:78:10: note: in a call to allocation function

len is a signed integer filled up by scsi_cdb_length which can return -1
if it can't decode the command. In this case, g_malloc would probably fail.
However, an unknown command here is a possibility, and since this is used for
tracing, we should try to print the command anyway, for debugging purposes.
Since knowing the size of the command in the buffer is impossible (could not
decode the command), only print the header by setting len=1 if scsi_cdb_length
returned -1

If we had a way to know the (maximum) size of the buffer, we could
alternatively dump the whole buffer, instead of dumping only the
first byte. Not sure if this can be done, nor if it is considered
a better option.
We could also produce an error instead/in addition to just dumping
the buffer, if the command cannot be decoded.
