mtip32xx: fix potential crash on SEC_ERASE_UNIT
The mtip driver lifted this code from elsewhere and then added a special handling check for SEC_ERASE_UNIT. If the caller tries to do a security erase but passes no output data for the command then outbuf is not allocated and the driver duly explodes.
