Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] scsi: libsas: fix a race condition when smp task timeout

When the lldd is processing the complete sas task in interrupt and set
the task stat as SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE, the smp timeout timer is able to
be triggered at the same time. And smp_task_timedout() will complete the
task wheter the SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE is set or not. Then the sas task may
freed before lldd end the interrupt process. Thus a use-after-free will
happen.

Fix this by calling the complete() only when SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE is not
set. And remove the check of the return value of the del_timer(). Once
the LLDD sets DONE, it must call task->done(), which will call
smp_task_done()->complete() and the task will be completed and freed
correctly.
