Finn Thain 16b29e75a7 atari_scsi: Fix atari_scsi deadlocks on Falcon
Don't disable irqs when waiting for the ST DMA "lock"; its release may
require an interrupt.

Introduce stdma_try_lock() for use in soft irq context. atari_scsi now tells
the SCSI mid-layer to defer queueing a command if the ST DMA lock is not
available, as per Michael's patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-m68k&m=139095335824863&w=2

The falcon_got_lock variable is race prone: we can't disable IRQs while
waiting to acquire the lock, so after acquiring it there must be some
interval during which falcon_got_lock remains false. Introduce
stdma_is_locked_by() to replace falcon_got_lock.

The falcon_got_lock tests in the EH handlers are incorrect these days. It
can happen that an EH handler is called after a command completes normally.
Remove these checks along with falcon_got_lock.

Also remove the complicated and racy fairness wait queues. If fairness is an
issue (when SCSI competes with IDE for the ST DMA interrupt), the solution
is likely to be a lower value for host->can_queue.
