In preparation to enabling -Wvla, remove VLA usage and replace it
with fixed-length arrays.

It seems that the length of array 'buf' will not exceed
DA9150_QIF_SHORT_SIZE bytes (2 bytes). But a fixed length
of DA9150_QIF_BYTE_SIZE bytes (8 bytes) was chosen in case
this change in the future.

Fixed as part of the directive to remove all VLAs from
the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621

You can use DA9150_QIF_LONG_SIZE as that's the biggest size of an attribute
which can be accessed. This will also save a little space.

I got it. I'll send v2 shortly.

Thanks for the feedback, Adam.
