[SCSI] libfc: reduce hold time on SCSI host lock
Introduce a new lock to protect the list of fc_fcp_pkt structs in libfc
instead of using the host lock. This reduces the contention of this heavily
used lock, and I see up to a 25% performance gain in CPU bound small I/O
tests when scaling out across multiple quad-core CPUs.
The big win is in removing the host lock from the completion path
completely, as it does not need to be held around the call to scsi_done.
