[SCSI] sg: fix races with ioctl(SG_IO)
sg_io_owned needs to be set before the command is sent to the midlevel; otherwise, a quickly-completing command may cause a different CPU to see "srp->done == 1 && !srp->sg_io_owned", which would lead to incorrect behavior. Check srp->done and set srp->orphan while holding rq_list_lock to prevent races with sg_rq_end_io(). There is no need to check sfp->closed from read/write/ioctl/poll/etc. since the kernel guarantees that this won't happen. The usefulness of sg_srp_done() was questionable before; now it is definitely not needed.
