scsi: mpi3mr: Fix block_io accounting when a target is re-created during BSG
This commit introduces a 64-bit sequence number on struct
mpi3mr_stgt_priv_data so that mpi3mr_tgtdev_block_io_dec() only decrements
block_io if the target private data matches the instance that was
incremented by mpi3mr_tgtdev_block_io_inc() when the BSG task management
command started.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but struct mpi3mr_stgt_priv_data has a kernel-doc comment
block describing all of its members. Should a @seq entry be added there as
well so W=1 builds and scripts/kernel-doc do not warn about an undocumented
struct member?

[Severity: Medium]
Can stgt_priv->block_io remain permanently elevated on a live scsi_target if
a BSG task management request completes while scsi_tgt_priv_data->num_luns
is temporarily zero?
In mpi3mr_sdev_destroy(), tgt_dev->starget is cleared whenever num_luns
reaches zero, even though the scsi_target and its hostdata (stgt_priv)
remain alive while starget->reap_ref is held:
drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c:mpi3mr_sdev_destroy() {
...
scsi_tgt_priv_data->num_luns--;
...
if (tgt_dev && (!scsi_tgt_priv_data->num_luns))
tgt_dev->starget = NULL;
...
}
And when another LUN is initialized on that same scsi_target,
mpi3mr_sdev_init() sets tgt_dev->starget back to starget:
drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_os.c:mpi3mr_sdev_init() {
...
if (tgt_dev) {
if (tgt_dev->starget == NULL)
tgt_dev->starget = starget;
...
}
This happens during __scsi_scan_target() (which holds starget->reap_ref)
when probing LUN 0 in scsi_probe_and_add_lun() returns
SCSI_SCAN_TARGET_PRESENT (such as when LUN 0 has peripheral qualifier 3) and
calls __scsi_remove_device() -> mpi3mr_sdev_destroy() before
scsi_report_lun_scan() or scsi_sequential_lun_scan() adds the remaining LUNs
on the same starget. It can also happen if the last LUN on a target is
removed via scsi_remove_device() while a concurrent __scsi_add_device() has
already acquired starget->reap_ref via scsi_alloc_target() and is waiting on
shost->scan_mutex.
If mpi3mr_bsg_process_mpt_cmds() calls mpi3mr_tgtdev_block_io_inc() while
LUN 0 exists, and then calls mpi3mr_tgtdev_block_io_dec() during the window
where tgt_dev->starget is NULL, mpi3mr_tgtdev_block_io_dec() sees
tgtdev->starget == NULL and skips the decrement. Once mpi3mr_sdev_init()
re-attaches tgt_dev->starget to that same starget, wouldn't
stgt_priv->block_io stay elevated and cause mpi3mr_qcmd() to return
SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY indefinitely for all commands to that target?
