Can we stick to the current approach of moving the .setup_xfer_req()
up, keeping in mind the following pros?
1. Avoid redundant callbacks for setting up transfers
2. Trim the duration for which hba->outstanding_lock is acquired unnecessarily

No, we can't. The Exynos implementation of the .setup_xfer_req() callback
is not thread-safe and relies on serialization by the caller. This patch
breaks the Exynos driver. A better title for this patch would be "Break
the setup_xfer_req() invocation".
