[PATCH] fix "scsi: aic7xxx hang since v2.6.28-rc1"

[Alan Stern]

This patch (as1144c) removes scsi_end_request().  The routine had only
one caller, so it is moved inline and simplified.

In addition, if no forward progress has been made then the patch
decrements a request's retry counter before unpreparing and requeuing
it, to avoid infinite retry loops.

- * Function:    scsi_end_request()
- *
- * Purpose:     Post-processing of completed commands (usually invoked at end
- *		of upper level post-processing and scsi_io_completion).
- *
- * Arguments:   cmd	 - command that is complete.
- *              error    - 0 if I/O indicates success, < 0 for I/O error.
- *              bytes    - number of bytes of completed I/O
- *		requeue  - indicates whether we should requeue leftovers.
- *
- * Lock status: Assumed that lock is not held upon entry.
- *
- * Returns:     cmd if requeue required, NULL otherwise.
- *
- * Notes:       This is called for block device requests in order to
- *              mark some number of sectors as complete.
- * 
- *		We are guaranteeing that the request queue will be goosed
- *		at some point during this call.
- * Notes:	If cmd was requeued, upon return it will be a stale pointer.
