[PATCH] tcm_loop: Drop host_lock around struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done()

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@linux-iscsi.org>]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Greetings all,

This patch updates tcm_loop_queue_data_in() and tcm_loop_queue_status()
to no longer hold struct Scsi_Host->host_lock while calling the
struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done() callback, in order queue the *sc off into
the block softirq.  This optimization is safely allowed for SCSI LLDs on
modern v2.6 kernels, and is done by the majority of mainline SCSI LLDs.

Thanks to Vasu Dev to the clarification on this item!
