isci: cleanup "starting" state handling
The lldd actively disallows requests in the "starting" state. Retrying
or holding off commands in this state is sub-optimal:
1/ it adds another state check to the fast path
2/ retrying can cause libsas to give up
However, isci's ->lldd_dev_found() routine already waits for controller
start to complete before allowing further progress. Checking the
"starting" state in isci_task_execute_task and the isr is redundant and
misleading. Clean this up and introduce a controller-wide event queue
to start reeling in "completion" proliferation in the driver.
The "stopping" state cleanups are in a similar vein, rely on the the isr
and other paths being precluded from occurring rather than implementing
state checking logic.
