Fix this lockup by making ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd() allocate a reserved
request.

It is worth noting that the error handler itself could always find
a free slot, either by waiting for one, or by taking the reset
path which clears all slots.

I do not agree. As mentioned in the patch description, this patch is a fix for a scenario in which ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() waits until ufshcd_err_handler() finishes. ufshcd_err_handler() does not finish since there are no tags and no tags will be freed since that is the responsibility of ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() but it is blocked ...

For UFS-specific patch sets please always cc me on all patches
in a series including the cover letter.

I will do that.

Thanks,

Bart.
