[PATCH] scsi: core: move scsi_host_busy() out of host lock for waking up EH handler

Inside scsi_eh_wakeup(), scsi_host_busy() is called & checked with host lock
every time for deciding if error handler kthread needs to be waken up.

This way can be too heavy in case of recovery, such as:

- N hardware queues
- queue depth is M for each hardware queue
- each scsi_host_busy() iterates over (N * M) tag/requests

If recovery is triggered in case that all requests are in-flight, each
scsi_eh_wakeup() is strictly serialized, when scsi_eh_wakeup() is called
for the last in-flight request, scsi_host_busy() has been run for (N * M - 1)
times, and request has been iterated for (N*M - 1) * (N * M) times.

If both N and M are big enough, hard lockup can be triggered on acquiring
host lock, and it is observed on mpi3mr(128 hw queues, queue depth 8169).

Fix the issue by calling scsi_host_busy() outside host lock, and we
don't need host lock for getting busy count because host lock never
covers that.

BTW, another way is to wake up EH handler unconditionally, and it should
work too.
