<br />
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix a deadlock issue related to automatic dump<br />
<br />
If we issue a disabling PHY command, the device attached with it will go<br />
offline, if a 2 bit ECC error occurs at the same time, a hung task may be<br />
found:<br />

<br />
This is because when the device goes offline, we obtain the hisi_hba<br />
semaphore and send the ABORT_DEV command to the device. However, the<br />
internal abort timed out due to the 2 bit ECC error and triggers automatic<br />
dump. In addition, since the hisi_hba semaphore has been obtained, the dump<br />
cannot be executed and the controller cannot be reset.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the deadlocks occur on the following circular dependencies<br />
