I was going to do this eventually, honest, because there's no need to unprep and reprep a command that comes in through scsi_queue_insert(). However, I decided to leave it in to exercise the scsi_unprep_request() path just to make sure it was working. What's happening, I think, is that we also use this path for retries. Since we kill and reget the command each time, the retries decrement is never seen, so we're retrying forever.
