Prior to commit 1f4a4a19508d ("scsi: ibmvfc: Complete commands outside
the host/queue lock") responses to commands were completed sequentially
with the host lock held such that a command had a basic binary state of
active or free. It was therefore a simple affair of ensuring the
assocaiated ibmvfc_event to a VIOS response was valid by testing that it
was not already free. The lock relexation work to complete commands
outside the lock inadverdently made it a trinary command state such that
a command is either in flight, received and being completed, or
completed and now free. This breaks the stale command detection logic as
a command may be still marked active and been placed on the delayed
completion list when a second stale response for the same command
arrives. This can lead to double completions and list corruption. This
issue was exposed by a recent VIOS regression were a missing memory
barrier could occasionally result in the ibmvfc client receiveing a
duplicate response for the same command.

Fix the issue by introducing the atomic ibmvfc_event.active to track the
trinary state of a command. The state is explicitly set to 1 when a
command is successfully sent. The CRQ response handlers use
atomic_dec_if_positive() to test for stale responses and correctly
transition to the completion state when a active command is received.
Finally, atomic_dec_and_test() is used to sanity check transistions
when commands are freed as a result of a completion, or moved to the
purge list as a result of error handling or adapter reset.
