Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

References to the destroyed LCB are cleared from the target structure (instead of leaving a dangling pointer), and when the last LCB for the target is destroyed the reference to the upper layer target data is cleared.
