[media] ascot2e: don't use variable length arrays

Browse Source 
The Linux stack is short; we need to be able to count the number
of bytes used at stack on each function. So, we don't like to
use variable-length arrays, as complained by smatch:
        drivers/media/dvb-frontends/horus3a.c:57:19: warning: Variable length array is used.

The max usecase of the driver seems to be 10 bytes + 1 for the
register.

So, let's be safe and allocate 11 bytes for the write buffer.
This should be enough to cover all cases. If not, let's print
an error message.
