bsg locking patches update

[Pete Wyckoff]

I finally got around to testing the set of lifetime management
fixes you applied.  This is 2.6.26-rc3 with some varlen, bidi,
iser patches, and iovec on bsg, but nothing that should affect
the locking.

I can confirm that the first two of these three old bugs are
no longer reproducable:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=120508177905365&w=2
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=120508178005376&w=2

Thanks!  The third, however, is a hang that still can happen.  But
it is very obscure and requires a bit of timing to get right.  As a
reminder, here's the setup, and updated traces.

Mount a target with iscsi, one that may be slow in responding.  Send
it a command via bsg.  Kill the target or unplug the network before
the response returns.  At this point the kernel notices and iscsid
goes about trying to reconnect.

Hit ctrl-c to try to kill the bsg-using application.  Being the last
user of the device, it hangs during file close waiting for the
outstanding command to complete, sleeping with bsg_mutex held.

Meanwhile, in another shell, use iscsiadm to logout from the target.
As scsi removes the device, it tells bsg to unregister the queue
that is going away, and to do that, it needs the bsg_mutex.

Maybe it is necessary to split up that bsg_mutex to use multiple
finer-grained locks.
