(replying to my own e-mail)

What I think is fine in your patch is that it skips the unprep and reprep
when requeueing. However, there is a put_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev) call
in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() and your patch causes that put_device() call to
be skipped when requeueing. An explanation is needed in the commit message
why you think that removing that put_device() call is fine.

Bart.
