Several LLDDs may get async event of a target appearing on
the fabric, thus you want to protect the scsi_portal::target_list
with a lock.

Several processes may be initiated who register a scsi_portal
with SCSI Core, thus you want to protect scsi_core::portal_list
with a lock.

The new void scsi_enqueue_cmd(struct scsi_command *) should
be *fully* reentrant, thus you want to protect the
struct scsi_lu::pending_cmd_q with a lock.

... unless you can serialize all those operations elsewhere,
which would be reminicent of the BKL...
