There's a branch at the end of this function that
is supposed to normalize the return value with what
the mid-layer expects. In this one case, we get it wrong.

Also increase the verbosity of the INFO level printk
at the end of mptscsih_abort to include the actual return value
and the scmd-&gt;serial_number. The reason being success
or failure is actually determined by the state of
the internal tag list when a TMF is issued, and not the
return value of the TMF cmd. The serial_number is also
used in this decision, thus it's useful to know for debugging
purposes.

<title>SCSI host lock push-down</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

<title>scsi: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex</title>

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial
way to serialize their private file operations,
typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic
pushdown from VFS.

None of these drivers appears to want to lock against
other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level
lock in their file operations, meaning that there
is no lock-order inversion problem.

Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely,
replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case.
Using a scripted approach means we can avoid
typos.

    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

expression x,e1,e2,e3;

ret = 0
... when != ret = e1
