This patches changes the SCSI layer to always provide block layer
tags, and always make them host wide by default.  We've been doing
this for the blk-mq path since blk-mq was introduces and this catches
up in the old I/O path so that drivers get a coherent execution
environment.

Since V1 a few more drivers are using block tags and have been updated,
and a spinlock for a single assignment has been changed from the
previously used spinlock to a barrier by explicit request from James.
I refuse any responsibility for mental or physical harm caused by that
barrier.
