Found in the -rt patch set.  The scsi_error thread likely will be in the
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state upon exit.  This patch fixes this bug.

This patch (as561) fixes the error handler's thread-exit code.  The
kthread_stop call won't wake the thread from a down_interruptible, so
the patch gets rid of the semaphore and simply does

        set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

Modified to simplify the termination loop and correct the sleep condition.

We fix the oops by enforcing the host state model.  There have also
been two extra states added: SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY and
SHOST_DEL_RECOVERY so we can take the model through host removal while
the recovery thread is active.

The problem lies in the way the error handler uses TEST UNIT READY to
tell whether error recovery has succeeded.  The scsi_eh_tur function
gives up after one round of retrying; after that it decides that more
error recovery is needed.

However TUR is liable to report sense data indicating a retry is needed
when in fact error recovery has succeeded.  A typical example might be
SK=2, ASC=4, ASCQ=1 (Logical unit in process of becoming ready).  The mere
fact that we were able to get a sensible reply to the TUR should indicate
that the device is working well enough to stop error recovery.

I ran across a case back in January where this happened.  A CD-ROM drive
timed out the INQUIRY command, and a device reset fixed the blockage.
But then the drive kept responding with 2/4/1 -- because it was spinning
up I suppose -- until the error handler gave up and placed it offline.
If the initial INQUIRY had received the 2/4/1 instead, everything would
have worked okay.  It doesn't seem reasonable for things to fail just
because the error handler had started running.

This one's slightly more difficult.  The transport class uses
REQ_FAILFAST, so another interface (scsi_execute) had to be invented to
take the extra flag.  Also, the sense functions are shifted around to
allow spi_execute to place data directly into a struct scsi_sense_hdr.
With this change, there's probably a lot of unnecessary sense buffer
allocation going on which we can fix later.

We never look at it except for the old megaraid driver that abuses it
for sending internal commands.  That usage can be fixed easily because
those internal commands are single-threaded by a mutex and we can easily
use a completion there.

Save and restore the scmd->result, so that timed out commands do not
return the result of the TEST UNIT READY or the start/stop commands. Code
is already in place to save and restore the result for the request sense
case.

The previous version of this patch erroneously removed the "if" check,
instead add a comment as to why the "if" is needed.

Somebody forgot that | has higher priority than ?:.  As the result,
allocation is done with bogus flags - instead of GFP_ATOMIC + possibly
GFP_DMA we always get GFP_DMA and no GFP_ATOMIC.

We have a DID_IMM_RETRY to require a retry at once, but we could do with
a DID_REQUEUE to instruct the mid-layer to treat this command in the
same manner as QUEUE_FULL or BUSY (i.e. halt the submission until
another command returns ... or the queue pressure builds if there are no
outstanding commands).

scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose
anymore.  All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests
are always true in abort callbacks.  Kill the field.  Also, as
->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number
doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments
above ->serial_number accordingly.  Once we remove all uses of
this field from all lldd's, this field should go.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
