OK, I see there is no danger as far as the commands are comming
through queuecommand().  But what about the query requests?
PATCH 1/4 in this series has added ioctl interface for query
request which also acquires a tag in hba->lrb_in_use through
ufshcd_get_dev_cmd_tag().  Although it is very difficult to
happen, is it possible for new query requests to be clashed by
inject_cmd_hang_tr() in the same way I described earlier?
