Subject: scsi: remove scsi_end_request

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

commit bc85dc500f9df9b2eec15077e5046672c46adeaa upstream.

By folding scsi_end_request into its only caller we can significantly clean
up the completion logic.  We can use simple goto labels now to only have
a single place to finish or requeue command there instead of the previous
convoluted logic.

- * Function:    scsi_end_request()

- *
- * Arguments:   cmd	 - command that is complete.
- *              error    - 0 if I/O indicates success, < 0 for I/O error.
- *              bytes    - number of bytes of completed I/O

- * Lock status: Assumed that lock is not held upon entry.

- * Notes:       This is called for block device requests in order to

- * Notes:	If cmd was requeued, upon return it will be a stale pointer.
