The same should also be applied to scsi_requeue_command, while it might
not matter for performance it'll make the code a lot more readable,
especially when also merging scsi_unprep_request into
scsi_requeue_command. See the patch I'll send out for this ASAP.
I'm also not sure if there's a point in keeping the
get/_put_command_and_dev variants. There's very few callers left and
just opencoding the device reference manipulation might be cleaner.
