CI static analysis complains about the allocation size in payload and
response buffers being unchecked. In general, these allocations should
be safe as the user-input is u16 and thus limited to U16_MAX, which is
only slightly larger than the theoretical maximum imposed by the
underlying SSH protocol.
All bounds on these values required by the underlying protocol are
enforced in ssam_request_sync() (or rather the functions called by it),
thus bounds here are only relevant for allocation.
Add comments explaining that this should be safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
