Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] scsi: Convert struct Scsi_Host->cmd_serial_number to atomic_t

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

This patch converts struct Scsi_Host->cmd_serial_number to an atomic_t so that
scsi_cmd_get_serial() can be safely called without struct Scsi_Host->host_lock
in scsi_dispatch_cmd().  This patch also adds a struct Scsi_Host->use_serial_number
to signal serial_number usage, but this is now disabled by default in
scsi_host_alloc().

One special item in scsi_cmd_get_serial() recommended by Joe Eykholt is to
start struct Scsi_Host->cmd_serial_number at 1, and increment each serial_number
by 2 so that the serial is odd, and wraps to 1 instead of 0.
