Subject: [PATCH v2 01/23] ata: sata_dwc_460ex: remove incorrect locking

From: Mans Rullgard <mans@...sr.com>

This lock is already taken in ata_scsi_queuecmd() a few levels up the
call stack so attempting to take it here is an error.  Moreover, it is
pointless in the first place since it only protects a single, atomic
assignment.

Enabling lock debugging gives the following output:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.4.0-rc5+ #189 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
kworker/u2:3/37 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&host->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<90283294>] sata_dwc_exec_command_by_tag.constprop.14+0x44/0x8c

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&host->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<902761ac>] ata_scsi_queuecmd+0x2c/0x330

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&(&host->lock)->rlock);
  lock(&(&host->lock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***
 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
