01_scsi_reqfn_consolidate_error_handling.patch
This patch fixes a queue stall bug which occurred when sgtable
allocation failed and device_busy == 0. When scsi_init_io()
returns BLKPREP_DEFER or BLKPREP_KILL, it's supposed to free
resources itself. This patch consolidates defer and kill
handling into scsi_prep_fn().
Note that this patch doesn't consolidate state defer/kill
handlings in scsi_prep_fn(). They were omitted as all state
checks will be moved into scsi_reques_fn() by the following
reqfn_reimpl patch.
ret value checking was changed to switch() as in James's
patch. Also, kill: comment is copied from James's patch.
