Subject: [PATCH] scsi/eh: fix hang adding ehandler wakeups after decrementing host_busy

We have a problem on several our nodes with scsi EH. Imagine such an
order of execution of two threads:

CPU1 scsi_eh_scmd_add		CPU2 scsi_host_queue_ready
/* shost->host_busy == 1 initialy */

				if (shost->shost_state == SHOST_RECOVERY)
					/* does not get here */
					return 0;

lock(shost->host_lock);
shost->shost_state = SHOST_RECOVERY;

				busy = shost->host_busy++;
				/* host->can_queue == 1 initialy, busy == 1
				 * - go to starved label */
				lock(shost->host_lock) /* wait */

shost->host_failed++;
/* shost->host_busy == 2, shost->host_failed == 1 */
call scsi_eh_wakeup(shost) {
	if (host_busy == host_failed) {
		/* does not get here */
		wake_up_process(shost->ehandler)
	}
}
unlock(shost->host_lock)

				/* acquire lock */
				shost->host_busy--;

Finaly we do not wakeup scsi_error_handler and all other commands
coming will hang as we are in never ending recovery state as there
is no one left to wakeup handler.

So scsi disc in these host becomes unresponsive and all bio on node
hangs. (We trigger these problem when scsi cmnds to DVD drive timeout.)

Main idea of the fix is to try to do wake up every time we decrement
host_busy or increment host_failed(the latter is already OK).

Now the very *last* one of busy threads getting host_lock after
decrementing host_busy will see all write operations on host's
shost_state, host_busy and host_failed completed thanks to implied
memory barriers on spin_lock/unlock, so at the time of busy==failed
we will trigger wakeup in at least one thread. (Thats why putting
recovery and failed checks under lock)
