Subject: [PATCH 1/2] scsi: Move scsi_cmd->jiffies_at_alloc initialization to
 allocation time

Move the initialization of scsi_cmd->jiffies_at_alloc to allocation
time rather than prep time. Also ensure that jiffies_at_alloc
is preserved when we go through prep. This lets us send retries
through prep again and not break the overall retry timer logic
in scsi_softirq_done.
