Subject: [PATCH 08/19] scsi: hisi_sas: fix the risk of freeing slot twice

From: Xiaofei Tan <tanxiaofei@...wei.com>

The function hisi_sas_slot_task_free() is used to free
the slot and do tidy-up of LLDD resources. The LLDD
generally should know the state of a slot and decide when
to free it, and it should only be done once.

For some scenarios, we really don't know the state, like
when TMF timeout. In this case, we check task->lldd_task
before calling hisi_sas_slot_task_free().

However, we may miss some scenarios when we should also
check task->lldd_task, and it is not SMP safe to check
task->lldd_task as we don't protect it within spin lock.

This patch is to fix this risk of freeing slot twice, as
follows:
1. Check task->lldd_task in the hisi_sas_slot_task_free(),
and give up freeing of this time if task->lldd_task is NULL.
2. Set slot->buf to NULL after it is freed.
