The legacy CRQ holds the host lock the even while completing commands.
This presents a problem when in legacy single queue mode and
nr_hw_queues is greater than one since calling scsi_done() introduces
the potential for deadlock.
If nr_hw_queues is greater than one drop the hostlock in the legacy CRQ
path when completing a command.
