Move the entirely request allocation, mapping and submission into ->do_task.
This
a) avoids blocking the I/O submission thread unessecarily, and
b) simplifies the code greatly
Note that the code seems to have various error handling issues, mostly
related to bidi handling in the current form. I've added comments about
those but not tried to fix them in this commit.

This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
changes. This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!
These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.
target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
target: Remove direct ramdisk code
target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().
target: Remove custom debug macros in mainline fabrics
target: Set WSNZ=1 in block limits VPD. Abort if WRITE_SAME sectors = 0
target: Remove transport do_se_mem_map callback
target: Further simplify transport_free_pages
target: Redo task allocation return value handling
target: Remove extra parentheses
target: change alloc_task call to take *cdb, not *cmd
(nab: Fix bogus struct file assignments in fd_do_readv and fd_do_writev)

This patch contains the squashed version of a number of cleanups and
minor fixes from Andy's initial series (round 1) for target core this
past spring. The condensed log looks like:

target: Rename transport_calc_sg_num to transport_init_task_sg
target: Fix leak in error path in transport_init_task_sg
target/pscsi: Remove pscsi_get_sh() usage
target: Make two runtime checks into WARN_ONs
target: Remove hba queue depth and convert to spin_lock_irq usage
target: dev->dev_status_queue_obj is unused
target: Make struct se_queue_req.cmd type struct se_cmd *
target: Remove __transport_get_qr_from_queue()
target: Rename se_dev->g_se_dev_list to se_dev_node
target: Remove struct se_global
target: Simplify scsi mib index table code
target: Make dev_queue_obj a member of se_device instead of a pointer
target: remove extraneous returns at end of void functions
target: Ensure transport_dump_vpd_ident_type returns null-terminated str
target: Function pointers don't need to use '&' to be assigned
target: Fix comment in __transport_execute_tasks()
target: Misc style cleanups
target: rename struct pr_reservation_template to pr_reservation
target: Remove #defines that just perform indirection
target: Inline transport_get_task_from_execute_queue()
target: Minor header comment fixes

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
* Persistent Reservations (PRs)
* Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
* Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
* Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
* Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
* Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
* Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
* No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
* Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
* Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
* Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
[jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from
Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.]
