stack abuse by linux_ioctl_cdrom

This is a patch that I currently use to fix the problem for myself - both 2KB
structs are allocated on the heap.
I am not sure what is the proper style for chained calls using chained if-else,
but I think that the chaining is the best way to organize that piece of code, so
that there is only one exit point from case-block to make sure that FREE is always
called.
